About this tool
Sometimes a PDF only needs a little trimming — a blank scanned page, a duplicate cover sheet, a section that no longer applies. This tool removes exactly the pages you specify and hands back a single PDF with everything else intact and in its original order. Drop in a file, type which pages to remove using page numbers and ranges (e.g. "2,4,7-9"), and download the trimmed result — nothing is uploaded, the whole thing runs in your browser.
The tool always leaves at least one page behind — if your selection would remove every page in the document, it stops and tells you rather than handing back a broken, empty PDF. Page numbers refer to the document's original layout, so "remove 2,4,7-9" always means the 2nd, 4th, and 7th-through-9th pages of the file you uploaded, regardless of how many pages end up being removed.
Frequently asked questions
Can I remove every page and get an empty PDF?
No — the tool deliberately blocks this, since a 0-page PDF isn't a valid, openable document in most viewers. If you select every page for removal, you'll get a clear error asking you to leave at least one page.
Do the remaining pages keep their original page numbers?
No — this tool only removes pages from the document's physical page order; it doesn't touch any printed page-number text that was part of the original page content, so any "Page X of Y" text drawn on the pages will now be inaccurate/out of sequence. If you need renumbered pages, run this tool first, then use a separate page-numbering tool afterward on the result.
