Frequently asked questions
How do I remove pages from a PDF?
Click the pages to mark them (or drag across several, or use odd/even/landscape/portrait and a range like "3-5, 9"), then save. Marked pages show dashed and faded so you can undo any of them with another click.
Do bookmarks and links survive?
Yes. Pages are removed in place rather than copied into a new file, so outlines, page labels, annotations and links on the remaining pages stay as they were.
Is the file uploaded?
Nothing is uploaded: the file is opened and processed inside your browser and never leaves your device. Close the tab and it is gone.
Does the file actually get smaller?
Yes. The pages are removed in place, and the file is then rewritten so that only what the document still refers to is kept - the images and text of a removed page are gone, not merely unlinked. How much that saves depends on what was on those pages: a page of plain text weighs almost nothing, a page carrying a photograph a great deal.
Can I delete pages from several files at once?
Yes, with the scope set to all files: the same page rule runs on every file, and each one comes back as its own PDF. A file where the rule would remove every page is skipped with a warning - a PDF has to keep at least one page.
Can I use a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file, or a photo, instead of a PDF?
Yes. Drop in a .docx, .xlsx or .pptx file or an image (JPG, PNG, WebP...) and it is turned into a PDF in your browser as it arrives - an image onto an A4 page - then handled like any other PDF; nothing is uploaded. The conversion is our own, so the result can differ slightly from Office's own PDF export: a font may be substituted and charts are left out. The file list shows a warning when something couldn't be carried over.
