A closer look at Delete Pages
Delete Pages removes unwanted pages from a PDF. Select pages by clicking them, typing a range, or using the odd/even and blank-page detection helpers, then export the cleaned document.
Most scans arrive with something to remove — an empty sheet at the end, a stray cover, or duplicated pages from a double-sided scanner. This tool trims the document down to the pages you actually need.
Blank-page detection is a heuristic: it looks for pages with little visible content, so it can miss scanned or vector-only pages that render as blank. At least one page must remain in the output. All processing happens in your browser and the cleaned PDF is downloaded locally.

Troubleshooting

I removed the wrong page

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose pages to delete?
Click individual pages, type a range, or use the odd/even and blank-page selection helpers.
Can the tool find blank pages automatically?
Yes — blank-page detection is a heuristic, so scanned or vector-only pages may be missed.
What if I delete too many pages?
At least one page must remain in the output. Keep the original file as a backup.
What is the difference to Extract Pages?
Delete Pages removes pages from the document; Extract Pages collects the pages you select into a new PDF. Both start from your selection, but they keep opposite parts.
