Delete pages in the PDF editor

Delete pages without uploading the file

The pages people most want to drop are often the sensitive parts of a document: a cover sheet with personal details, a blank scanner page, an internal note that shouldn't go to the client. Many free "delete PDF pages" sites process the file on their servers, so your document is uploaded to a company you may know nothing about.

The EditItAll PDF editor works the other way. The file is opened, edited and rebuilt on your device — nothing is transmitted. For anything confidential, that difference is the whole point.

Delete pages step by step

Removing pages takes under a minute:

  • Open the delete-pages tool and load your document.
  • In the Pages panel, click the page you want to remove — hold to select several at once, so you can clear a whole range in one go.
  • Delete the selected pages. The remaining pages renumber automatically.
  • Export. You get a fresh PDF containing only the pages you kept, downloaded straight to your device.

The editor keeps working offline once it has loaded, so you can disconnect and still finish — a simple proof that your file isn't going anywhere.

Tidy up the rest while you're there

Deleting is rarely the only fix a document needs. In the same pass you can drag pages to reorder or rotate them, extract a few pages into their own file, or merge in another PDF — then export once. If the trimmed document still needs marking up, you can add highlights, notes or a signature before you export, all on your device.

Frequently asked questions

Are my PDFs uploaded to delete pages?+

No. The PDF editor removes pages entirely in your browser, so the document never leaves your device. You can go offline after the page loads and deleting still works, which confirms nothing is being sent.

Does deleting pages change my original file?+

No. The editor exports a new PDF with the pages removed and leaves your original file exactly as it was, so you always keep the untouched source in case you need it again.

Can I delete several pages at once?+

Yes. Select multiple pages in the Pages panel and delete them together — useful for clearing a whole range, blank scans or an unwanted appendix in a single step.

Is there a limit on the size of the PDF?+

There's no page count or file-size limit built into the tool. Very large documents are bounded only by your device's available memory, since all the work happens locally.

Will the exported PDF open in Adobe Acrobat?+

Yes. The export is a standard PDF, so it opens correctly in Acrobat, Preview and any other compliant viewer, with the remaining pages renumbered in order.
