Delete PDF pages — free forever
Remove the pages you do not want.
Opens in the Delete pages tool — you can switch to any other tool from the side panel once your PDF is loaded.
How it works
Drop your PDF on the Pelican Drop Desk.
Type the pages to delete, e.g. '1, 3, 7-9'.
Click Run and download the trimmed PDF.
Use cases
Drop the cover sheet
Email a fax-style scan without the cover page header.
Remove a draft appendix
Strip an internal appendix from a shared report.
Clean up blank scanner pages
Bulk-scanned bundles often include blank separators — delete them all at once.
Free account & email verification
Start working now. Create a free account and verify your email only when your PDF is ready to download. Verification keeps automated abuse off the site — it's the reason we can keep every tool free forever with no paid plan, no watermark, and no upgrade trap.
Your privacy
Your files are processed entirely in your browser — never uploaded to a PDF Pelican server. We only store anonymous analytics about which tools people use, never your file contents.
About this tool
Remove one or more pages from a PDF without re-scanning or re-exporting. Useful for trimming cover sheets, blank pages, or sensitive appendices before sharing.
FAQ
How do I list pages?
Use commas and ranges. '1, 3, 7-9' removes pages 1, 3, 7, 8 and 9.
Can I undo?
The original file on your computer is never touched. If the result isn't what you wanted, click Start over and try a different selection.
Will the remaining pages renumber?
Yes. After deletion, the next page becomes page 1 of the new document. Use Add page numbers to stamp fresh numbers if you need them.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Pages are removed in your browser using pdf-lib.
