Delete PDF Pages

Take out the pages you don't need: tick them, or type their numbers, and save a new PDF. It all happens on your device, so nothing is uploaded. The new PDF counts as one file on your account.

Take blank, duplicate or private pages out of a PDF and save a new copy without them. The original file stays as it was.

Nothing is uploaded

Your files open in your browser and everything happens there, on your device. Filebender never receives them: you still need your account, and it counts the PDF you make as one of your files, by its type and size.

See every page

Each page is shown as a picture, so you can check the order, turn pages the right way up and spot the ones to take out before you save.

Nothing recompressed

Pages are copied exactly as they are, so text stays sharp and searchable and pictures keep their quality. No plan has ads, and nothing is stamped on your pages.

How to delete pages from a PDF

  1. Create a free account with Google or your email address, or sign in.
  2. Choose a PDF, or drop it on the box.
  3. Tick the pages to take out, or type their numbers in “Pages to take out”, like 2, 5-7, and press “Select”. Then press the button that counts them, such as “Remove 3 selected pages”.
  4. Press “Save PDF” and download the new file. Your original isn't changed.

Choosing pages to remove

Every page shows as a picture with a tick box, so you can see what you're taking out. Tick the pages to go, or type their numbers in Pages to take out, such as 2, 5-7, and press Select; 10- means page 10 to the end. The Remove button counts the pages ticked, reading Remove 3 selected pages for three, and takes them all out together.

A page's own remove button takes out just that page, and Undo page changes brings removed pages back, up until you save. Scanners set to scan both sides often add a blank back to every single-sided page; those show as empty tiles, so they're quick to find and tick.

Gone from the new file

The saved PDF holds only the pages you kept. A removed page isn't hidden or covered up: the new file doesn't contain it, which makes this a sound way to leave a page out before sharing a document.

Keeping only a few pages

To keep a handful of pages out of many, it can be quicker to use Split PDF and type just the pages you want, such as 2-4.

The PDF is opened in your browser and never uploaded. Like every tool here it needs your account, and the new PDF counts as one file.

Questions

Can I delete several pages at once?

Yes. Tick them, or type their numbers, such as 2, 5-7, and press Select, then press the Remove button, which says how many pages are ticked. Save once and they're all left out of the new PDF.

Will the page numbers printed on the pages change?

No. Numbers printed on a page are part of it, so a document numbered 1 to 10 will skip the numbers of the pages you removed.

Can I get a deleted page back?

Before saving, press Undo page changes. After saving, the original PDF still has every page.

Does removing pages make the file smaller?

Usually, since the new PDF only holds what the kept pages use. A picture or font that a kept page shares with a removed one stays in.

Are my PDFs uploaded?

No. Your PDFs open in your browser and everything happens there, on your device, so they never leave it. You still need your account: Filebender counts the PDF you make as one file, by its type and size, never its name or what's in it. The one exception is a damaged PDF your browser can't open: Filebender can repair it on its servers, but only if you say yes, and it's deleted an hour after it's repaired.

Does it use up my allowance?

Each merge, split or reorganised PDF counts as one file, however many pages or PDFs go into it or come out of it, so a split into ten PDFs is still one file. If something goes wrong and nothing is made, it doesn't count.

Can I use a password-protected PDF?

Not one that needs a password to open: open it with its password in a PDF reader, save a copy without one, and add that copy. A PDF that opens without a password but limits printing or editing works, as long as you're allowed to change it.

Is anything lost?

The pages are copied as they are, so text stays sharp and searchable and pictures keep their quality. Bookmarks aren't carried over, and form fields may stop being fillable.

Why do I need an account?

Every plan needs an account, including the free plan. Your daily allowance and any pass you buy are kept with your account, and accounts keep automated abuse out. Making one costs nothing, with Google or your email address, and you can start converting as soon as it's ready.
