What Delete Pages does
PDFGrover's Delete Pages tool removes the pages you don't want from a PDF by clicking their thumbnails. The output is a new PDF containing only the pages you kept — copied byte-for-byte from the source, so text, fonts, and images are unchanged and there's no quality loss.
When to delete pages from a PDF
- Blank pages picked up by a scanner's auto-feeder.
- Separator/cover sheets added by a print-to-PDF template.
- Draft markups or internal notes you don't want a client to see.
- Appendices or back-matter you're trimming before sharing.
- One chapter or section of a long ebook or manual.
How to delete pages
- Upload a PDF (up to 200 MB) — it stays on your device.
- Click the thumbnails of the pages to remove (red border + strike-through); click again to unmark.
- Save — a new PDF without the marked pages downloads. Your original file is untouched.

Tips
- Removing a long range (say pages 50–75)? Clicking each is slow —
use Split PDF with the inverse range (
1-49, 76-end) to keep only what's outside it. - Mark before all thumbnails load — selection is by page number, so you don't have to wait for a 1,000-page file to fully render.
- Surviving content is intact — bookmarks to kept pages still work, text stays selectable, fonts are preserved.
- Re-paginate after with Add Page Numbers if removing pages threw the numbering off.
Privacy and file handling
Delete Pages runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored on our server, or logged about the document. The trimmed file exists only in your tab until you download it. No sign-up, no watermark.
Troubleshooting
- Deleted the wrong page — your original on disk is unchanged; just re-upload it and start over.
- Need it back after saving — re-upload the original and re-select; the source file is never modified.
- Want a range removed quickly — see the Split PDF inverse-range tip above.
