most-used utilities

Drop a blank scan

List the blank page numbers and remove them in one pass.

Cut an appendix

Remove the appendix range without touching the main document.

Fix a bad page

Remove the one page that was scanned twice.

pro tips

You can combine ranges and single pages: 2, 5-7, 12.

Keep at least one page; the tool refuses to produce an empty PDF.

If you only want part of the document, use extract pages instead; it is the same operation with the selection inverted.

what it does

Choose a PDF, list the pages you want gone, and download a new version with the rest. The original file is not modified.

This is the tool for a blank scan page, an outdated appendix, a mistaken cover sheet or a document where page 12 should never have been included. Removing pages is faster than rebuilding the PDF from scratch.

A 20-page PDF with pages 3, 7 and 8 removed leaves 17 pages, in their original order. The page count is shown after you select the file so you can check the range before deleting.

The edit runs locally with pdf-lib. Pages are copied into a new document and the result downloads as a blob. Nothing leaves your browser.

quick answers

Is the removed content really gone?

The new PDF does not contain those pages. Keep the original if you might need them later; the tool does not modify it.

Can I remove pages from a protected PDF?

Not yet. Encrypted PDFs are rejected with an explanatory message.

Does removing pages reduce the file size?

Usually yes, because the page content is no longer included. The exact saving depends on what those pages contained.
