About PDF Page Deleter
This PDF page deleter uses pdf-lib to remove specified pages locally in your browser, so documents never leave your device. Select pages via individual numbers, comma-separated lists, or range expressions (1-3,5,8-10). The tool previews the total and remaining page counts before you commit. Deletion reconstructs the PDF's page tree and cross-reference table, preserving all content, bookmarks and metadata of the remaining pages. One thing to keep in mind: deleting pages usually shrinks the file, but the reduction is often modest because fonts and images are typically embedded document-wide and may survive the removal of a single page. If your real goal is dramatic size reduction, follow up with a PDF compression pass. This tool is useful before sending documents externally — strip blank pages, mis-scanned duplicates or sensitive pages so the recipient sees only what is relevant. Because everything runs purely client-side, no backend is involved and privacy is fully protected.

FAQ
How do I enter page numbers?
Three input styles: individual (e.g. 3), comma-separated (e.g. 1,5,8), and range expressions (e.g. 1-3,5,8-10), freely combinable.
Can I preview the remaining page count?
Yes. The tool shows total and remaining page counts so you can confirm before executing deletion.
Does deleting pages reduce file size much?
Usually a little, but not always dramatically - fonts and images are often embedded document-wide. Pair page deletion with PDF compression for noticeable size savings.
Is deletion reversible?
Deletion generates a new file; the original is unaffected. Keep the original PDF for potential recovery.
Does deleting pages affect bookmarks?
Bookmarks may point to wrong pages after deletion. Check or update bookmark links after deleting pages.
Are files uploaded?
No. All deletion runs locally in your browser via pdf-lib, so files never leave your device, even sensitive documents.
