How do I select pages to delete from a PDF?

Two ways: click any page thumbnail to mark it for deletion, or type a comma-separated range into the input (for example, 2-5, 8 marks pages 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8). You can mix both. Nothing is committed until you click Download, and all processing runs in your browser using pdf-lib.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

All page removal runs in your browser using pdf-lib. Our servers are not involved at any point.

Can I undo a deletion before saving?

Yes. Click a marked thumbnail again to keep it, or use Clear marks. Nothing is committed until you click Download.

Will the remaining pages keep their content and order?

Yes. Kept pages are copied to a new PDF in their original order with all text, images, and formatting preserved.

Technical specification

Algorithm or formula: Constructive page filtering using pdf-lib: the tool builds a fresh PDFDocument, copies only the pages whose 1-based index is not in the deletion set, and serializes the result.
Browser API or library: pdf-lib for PDF write; pdfjs-dist for thumbnail rendering. Drag-and-drop via standard File API and Blob download.
Input limits: PDF up to 100 MB. No page-count cap beyond browser memory.
Output: Trimmed PDF (application/pdf) containing only the kept pages in their original order, downloaded via Blob URL.
Known limitations: Internal hyperlinks pointing to deleted pages become dangling. Bookmarks referring to deleted pages may be silently dropped.
