How to Delete Pages from a PDF
Updated August 28, 2026
PDFs don't have a delete key — but they don't need one. Name the pages you want to keep, and what's left behind is gone. Here are the recipes.
The one-minute answer
Open Split PDF, choose Extract pages, and type every page *except* the ones you're deleting. Removing page 4 from a 10-page file means extracting 1-3, 5-10. The result is a new PDF without the unwanted pages; your original stays untouched.
Range recipes
| You want to… | Type this (10-page example) |
|---|---|
| Delete page 4 | 1-3, 5-10 |
| Delete the last page | 1-9 |
| Delete the first two pages | 3-10 |
| Keep only pages 2–5 | 2-5 |
| Delete pages 3 and 7 | 1-2, 4-6, 8-10 |
| Keep one page only | 6 |
Quality and text are untouched
Extraction copies pages exactly — text stays selectable and searchable, images keep their resolution, and nothing is re-compressed. It's the same document, minus pages. (That's different from PDF compression, which does trade text-selectability for size.)

- Reorder pages: split the document into single pages (“Every page as its own PDF”), then merge them back in the order you want.
- Need a page as an image: PDF to JPG renders any page at the resolution you pick.
- Sensitive documents: everything here runs in your browser — the file you're editing pages out of is never uploaded anywhere.
