What this tool does

Upload one PDF (max 20MB, max 50 pages), enter the page numbers to remove (e.g. 3,5,7), and click Delete Pages. We use qpdf to create a new PDF with those pages removed. We do not store your file on our servers after processing. It is deleted immediately after processing.

Enter specific page numbers to remove. To export every page as its own file, use PDF Split instead.

How to use

  • Upload the PDF and confirm total page count.
  • Enter page numbers to remove, separated by commas.
  • Create the cleaned PDF and download it.
  • Quick-check that required pages are still present.

When to use this vs other tools

  • When you need to remove blank or unwanted pages from a PDF
  • When extracting a subset of pages by deleting the rest
  • When cleaning up scanned documents with duplicate or error pages
  • When preparing a PDF for sharing or submission

Common problems and fixes

Conversion fails

Ensure the PDF is under 20MB and has at most 50 pages. Enter only valid page numbers (e.g. 3,5,7). Do not remove all pages.

qpdf not found

This tool requires qpdf. Install it on the server or set QPDF_PATH in .env.

Manual vs tool

Desktop page deletion works too but is slower for quick one-off removals.

Real-world use case

Great for removing blank pages, internal notes, or cover pages before sharing final PDFs.

Edge cases

  • Invalid page numbers are rejected.
  • Deleting too many pages can leave near-empty documents.

Limitations

You provide page numbers manually; this tool does not auto-detect removable pages.

Practical tips

  • Double-check page numbers before running.
  • Keep original file as fallback until final review.
