1Upload the PDF documents you want pages taken out of.
2Pick the pages by number, by range or by clicking thumbnails — you can mix ranges and single pages in one request.
3Apply the deletion; the remaining structure is re-linked and resources only the removed pages used are garbage-collected.
4Download the shorter PDF file, and keep your original, because a deletion cannot be undone from the output.
Delete PDF Pages FAQ
Anything specific to PDF here?
+
Yes — a PDF is an object graph, not a page image, so text stays selectable and vectors stay sharp no matter what happens to the raster content inside it. Worth knowing about what is left behind.
Can I get the deleted pages back?
+
Not from the output; deletion is not reversible. Keep the original, or split the pages you want to set aside into their own file first instead of deleting them.
How does Delete PDF Pages remove pages?
+
Concretely, the selected pages are removed from the page tree and the remaining objects are re-linked, so the output is a clean document rather than one with gaps — and orphaned resources are garbage-collected, which usually shrinks it. The result is a clean document that behaves as though the removed pages were never there.
How do I specify which pages to remove?
+
By number, by range, or by clicking thumbnails. Ranges and individual pages can be mixed in one request, and "all even" or "all odd" covers the duplex-scan case in one go.
Does Delete PDF Pages cost anything?
+
No. Delete PDF Pages is free without an account, and nothing is stamped onto the pages. Uploaded documents are deleted from the workers shortly after the job completes.
What can I upload to Delete PDF Pages?
+
Any standard PDF, including ones produced by a scanner, by a word processor or by a print driver. Files with an owner password that only restricts editing are handled; files that need a user password to open are not, and we do not attempt to break encryption.
Is there a file size limit on Delete PDF Pages?
+
Yes: free accounts process documents up to 25 MB each, which covers most reports and contracts but not a long scanned document at 600 DPI; Ghostscript and qpdf do the work. Scanned PDFs are the usual thing that exceeds it, and compressing the document first is normally enough to bring it back under.
Do bookmarks, links and form fields survive?
+
Outlines, internal links and annotations are preserved wherever the operation allows it. Digital signatures are the exception: any change to the file necessarily invalidates a signature, because that is precisely what a signature is for.
Why does a MP3 site host Delete PDF Pages?
+
MP3.to is built around the format that made portable audio ordinary: universally playable, small enough to ignore, and lossy in a way that only matters if you keep re-encoding it. Audio jobs cluster: the same person who needs a format changed usually needs the file cut, levelled or made smaller in the same sitting. Putting Delete PDF Pages behind the same upload, the same caps and the same account is what turns three tabs into one.
What should I do with the result once Delete PDF Pages is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves audio between MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, OGG and Opus, so the output format is a decision you can leave until the end rather than commit to at the start. Doing that after Delete PDF Pages rather than before means the encode happens once, on the file you actually settled on, instead of twice.
Is Delete PDF Pages here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same ffmpeg build, the same workers, the same limits. What a MP3 site adds is a point of view about bitrates, about what survives an encode and about when a lossless intermediate is worth the upload time. It also starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: MP3 frames are fixed-size blocks, so a cut lands on a frame boundary and gapless playback markers do not survive a re-encode.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account, and nothing is kept: uploads are deleted from the workers shortly after the job finishes, nothing is listened to and nothing is indexed. Free accounts exist for history and batch size, not for access.
