Cut the Pages You Don't Need
Almost every document picks up pages that shouldn't be there: blank sheets a scanner's duplex mode inserts, a fax cover page, an advertisement bound into a report, or a duplicate scan of the same page. Reprinting or re-scanning to drop them is slow and lossy. Here you simply type the page numbers to remove — single pages and ranges like 1, 5-7 — and download a clean copy with everything else intact, in the original order.
After you drop a file the tool shows its exact page count and validates your input against it, so an out-of-range entry fails with a clear message instead of producing a wrong file.
How Page Removal Works — Losslessly
The document is read into your browser's memory and parsed by pdf-lib. The pages you did not list are copied verbatim — each page together with the fonts, images and annotations it uses — into a brand-new document, which is then saved. Nothing is rasterized or recompressed, so text stays selectable and graphics stay sharp; the result is often smaller because resources used only by the removed pages are dropped.
All of this happens locally — there is no upload endpoint, so a confidential file never crosses the network.
Delete vs Split — Which to Use
The two tools are mirror images. Delete Pages removes the pages you name and keeps the rest — best when most of the document should stay. Split PDF in extract mode keeps only the pages you name — best when you want just a few pages out of a large file. Pick whichever matches how you think about the job.
