Delete Pages Online Free — PrivaTools

TL;DR: Upload a PDF, type the page numbers to remove (e.g. 2, 5-7), and download the trimmed copy.

Remove pages from PDF online for free. Select specific pages or ranges to permanently delete. Preview thumbnails and choose exactly which pages to remove. No sign-up, no watermarks, files never stored.

Delete Pages runs on the same privacy-first stack as every PrivaTools utility: files enter an isolated Docker container, are processed in temporary memory, and are unlinked the moment your download begins. No account, no watermark, no daily quota.

How to Delete Pages with PrivaTools

  1. Upload your PDF — Drop a PDF up to 500 MB.
  2. Specify pages to remove — Comma-separated list and/or ranges, e.g. '2, 5, 10-12'. The remaining pages keep their relative order.
  3. Download the trimmed PDF — Click Delete. PrivaTools returns a PDF with those pages removed; bookmarks pointing to deleted pages are rewritten to the next valid page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to bookmarks pointing to deleted pages?

They're either dropped or rewritten to the nearest remaining page, depending on outline structure. The Bookmarks tool can be used afterwards to clean them up.

Can I delete page ranges?

Yes — use ranges like '5-12'. Mix single pages and ranges freely.

Will the page numbers update?

Visible page numbers (added with the Page Numbers tool) stay as they were rendered. The internal page indices reflect the new order.
