Delete Pages

What does the Delete Pages tool do?

The FreePDF Delete Pages tool shows every page of your PDF as a thumbnail. Click the pages you don't want, hit delete, and the remaining pages are assembled into a clean new PDF.

Pages are copied losslessly with pdf-lib — the pages you keep are byte-for-byte identical to the originals.

How to delete pages

1. 1
   Add your PDF

   Drag and drop or browse for the document you want to clean up.

3. 3
   Click Delete pages

   pdf-lib builds a new document from the remaining pages in your browser.

4. 4
   Download the result

   Save the trimmed PDF to your device. No watermarks, no account.

What FreePDF Delete Pages can do

• Visual page selection with real thumbnails
• Delete any combination of pages in one pass
• Lossless — kept pages are untouched
• Works entirely in your browser — no file uploads

Privacy — your files stay on your device

Delete Pages runs entirely inside your browser using pdf-lib and PDF.js (Mozilla) — open-source, audited libraries with millions of users. Your files are loaded into browser memory, processed on your CPU, and written back out as a direct download. Nothing is sent to any server — you can verify this in your browser devtools → Network tab. Close the tab and everything is cleared from memory.

Supported devices and browsers

Known limitations

FreePDF is honest about what it can and cannot do:

• You cannot delete every page — a PDF needs at least one
• Very large PDFs depend on your browser's available memory
• Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first
