--- title: "Delete Pages from a PDF — Free, No Upload | Compress Pro" description: "Remove the pages you list from a PDF right in your browser — ranges like 1-3,7 delete cover sheets, blanks or whole sections. Nothing is uploaded. Free." canonical: https://compress-pro.com/delete-pages-from-pdf --- # Delete pages from a PDF. > Unwanted PDF pages deleted on your own device, privately. Remove pages from a PDF entirely in your browser — list what should go, like 1,14-16, and everything else assembles into a **new document with nothing re-encoded and nothing uploaded**. The original file stays untouched. **No uploads · No ads · Free & open source.** ## How it works 1. Drop files anywhere on the page, click to browse, or paste with Ctrl/⌘ + V. 2. Pick a quality or preset — or set an exact target size and let the tool find it. 3. Compress, compare before/after, and download — individually or as a ZIP. ## Cutting the right pages Blank pages from a duplex scan, an outdated appendix, a fax cover sheet, a page with someone else’s data — deletion answers “these pages shouldn’t be here”. The range you type is the removal list: 2 drops one page, 14-16 a run, 12- everything from twelve onward. Removing every page is refused with a clear message rather than producing an empty file. Pages that stay are copied as-is, so a hundred-page scan loses its blanks in an instant with zero quality cost. To keep a selection instead of removing one, [Extract PDF Pages](https://compress-pro.com/extract-pages-from-pdf) is the same engine in the opposite direction; a smaller file afterwards is [Compress PDF](https://compress-pro.com/compress-pdf)’s job. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which pages does the range refer to? The ones being deleted: 1,14-16 removes page one and pages fourteen to sixteen, and everything else survives into the new PDF. Switch the toggle to Keep and the same range means the opposite. ### Can I undo a deletion? Your original file is never modified — the tool writes a new PDF without the listed pages. If the result is wrong, just run the original again with a different range. ### What happens if my range covers every page? The run stops with an honest error — a PDF must keep at least one page. Adjust the range and run again. ### Is it private? Yes. The document never leaves your browser — nothing is uploaded, and the server only delivers this page. That makes it safe for contracts, invoices, medical records — anything you would not email to a stranger. Want proof? Run one file through, switch your connection off, and run another — it still works. ## Related tools - [Extract pages from a PDF](https://compress-pro.com/extract-pages-from-pdf) - [Split PDF files](https://compress-pro.com/split-pdf) - [Compress PDFs](https://compress-pro.com/compress-pdf) --- Part of [Compress Pro](https://compress-pro.com/) — every tool page has a markdown twin at `.md`.
