# Delete Pages
|
|
|
|
Remove unwanted pages from a PDF document. Specify pages to delete by typing page numbers or ranges, or click directly on page thumbnails to mark them for removal.
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
1. Upload a PDF file. The tool renders thumbnail previews of every page.
|
|
2. Enter the pages to delete in the text field using range syntax (e.g., `2, 5-8`), or click thumbnails to toggle them.
|
|
3. Marked pages are visually highlighted so you can confirm your selection.
|
|
4. Click the process button. A new PDF is created with the selected pages removed.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Text-based page selection with range syntax (`2, 5-8, 12`)
|
|
- Visual thumbnail grid for click-to-select deletion
|
|
- Real-time preview highlighting of pages marked for deletion
|
|
- Input validation against the actual page count
|
|
- Keeps all non-deleted pages in their original order
|
|
|
|
## Use Cases
|
|
|
|
- Removing blank or filler pages from a scanned document
|
|
- Stripping cover pages or appendices before sharing a document
|
|
- Cleaning up draft pages that were accidentally left in a final PDF
|
|
- Removing pages with sensitive information before distribution
|
|
|
|
## Tips
|
|
|
|
- Deleting pages does not affect the remaining pages' content or formatting. The output is a faithful copy of the original minus the removed pages.
|
|
- If you want to keep only specific pages rather than removing specific ones, [Extract Pages](./extract-pages) is the better fit.
|
|
- The thumbnail view loads lazily, so large documents stay responsive.
