How to Delete Pages from a PDF

Written and fact-checked by The EditPDF AI Team

Deleting pages removes unwanted content from a PDF and saves the remaining pages as a new file — useful for blank pages, duplicate pages, or sections that should not be part of the version you are sharing.

Step-by-step: delete pages

  1. 1Open editpdfai.com/delete-pages and upload your PDF.
  2. 2Browse the page thumbnails and select the pages you want to remove.
  3. 3Review your selection — deleted pages cannot be recovered from the new file once saved.
  4. 4Download the new PDF with the selected pages removed.
Keep the original

Deletion produces a new file; your original upload is not modified unless you overwrite it yourself, so keep a copy if you might need the removed pages later.

Common reasons to delete pages

  • ·Removing a cover page or internal section that should not be shared with a specific recipient
  • ·Stripping blank pages left over from scanning
  • ·Producing a shorter version of a report with an appendix or supplementary section removed
