How to Delete Pages from a PDF Before Sharing
A simple guide to removing blank, duplicate, or unnecessary PDF pages before upload or delivery.
Delete PDF Pages
Preview and remove unwanted pages from a PDF.
Why remove PDF pages
PDFs often contain blank scans, cover sheets, duplicated pages, outdated sections, or pages that are not relevant to the recipient.
Deleting unnecessary pages can make a document cleaner, smaller, and easier to review. It also helps avoid accidentally sharing extra information.
Check page numbers carefully
Before deleting pages, open the document and identify the exact page numbers. Page labels inside the document may not match the PDF viewer's page count.
After exporting the cleaned PDF, open it again and confirm that the right pages were removed. This final check prevents embarrassing mistakes.
When splitting is better
If you only need one or two pages from a large PDF, splitting or extracting pages may be cleaner than deleting many pages.
Use the workflow that creates the least confusion: delete a few unwanted pages, or extract the few pages you need.
FAQ
Does deleting pages change the original PDF?
Browser tools usually create a new output file. Keep the original as a backup.

Yes, if you know which page numbers are blank or unnecessary.
Should I use split or delete?
Delete when removing a few pages. Split or extract when keeping only a few pages.
