Free Delete PDF Pages — Remove Unwanted Pages Online
Upload a PDF, select pages with checkboxes, delete selected with pdf-lib. At least one page must remain. Browser-local on XConverters — free, no account.
Remove unwanted pages from any PDF with our free Delete PDF Pages tool on XConverters. Upload a PDF, tick page checkboxes to mark pages for deletion, and download a cleaner document — processed locally with pdf-lib in your browser. At least one page always remains. No account, no upload to our servers, completely free.
What This Tool Does
PDFs often include blank pages, duplicate covers, outdated appendices, or scanned extras you do not want to share. Deleting pages before sending a contract, report, or application packet keeps recipients focused and reduces file size. A browser-local page remover avoids emailing full documents to cloud services.
XConverters loads your PDF and displays every page number as a selectable checkbox. Click pages you want removed — the tool uses pdf-lib to rebuild the document without those pages entirely on your device. The delete button stays disabled until you select at least one page, and it prevents deleting every page: a minimum of one page must remain in the output PDF.
There is no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many PDFs you clean up. Confidential legal filings, medical records, and internal decks stay on your computer throughout the process. Only anonymous site analytics may be collected; your PDF bytes never leave the browser during normal use.
Deleted pages cannot be recovered from the downloaded file — keep your original PDF archived if you might need those pages later. For reordering instead of deleting, use our Reorder PDF Pages tool on XConverters.

Privacy and Security
Everything runs locally in your browser on XConverters. Your input is never uploaded to our servers, stored in a database, or shared with third parties. We designed this tool for developers, designers, and everyday users who need quick results without sacrificing privacy.
Only anonymous site analytics may be collected to improve performance and usability. The actual text, files, or data you process never leave your device during normal use.
Private by design: Because processing happens entirely in your browser, you can safely work with personal photos, client documents, API payloads, and proprietary content without exposing it to cloud storage.
Supported Formats and Use Cases

Tips for Best Results
- Keep a backup of the original PDF before deleting — the download is a new file without removed pages.
- Select blank pages at the end of scans first — they are the most common cleanup target.
- You must leave at least one page; deselect one page if you accidentally marked everything.
- Verify the output page count matches your expectation before sending externally.
- Combine with rotate PDF if deleted pages were not the only orientation issue.
