How to Remove Pages from a PDF

Removing pages from a PDF deletes the pages you list and keeps the rest in their original order. It is the right move when a document has blank pages, a draft section, or a sensitive page you do not want to share. IXPDF does this locally in your browser — your file never leaves your device.

Steps

1. Open the Remove Pages tool at/tools/remove-pages/.
2. Select your PDF. Drag the file onto the dropzone or click to browse. The file name and size appear below.
3. List pages to remove. In the Pages to removefield, type page numbers using commas and ranges, for example2,5,7-9. Pages are 1-based. A hint line tells you how many pages will be removed.
4. Run. Click Run Remove Pages. The worker produces the trimmed PDF locally and reports progress.
5. Download. Click Download result to save the trimmed PDF.

Tips

• Page numbers are 1-based — the first page is 1, not 0.
• Ranges are inclusive, so 7-9 removes pages 7, 8, and 9.
• The hint under the input updates live to show how many pages will be removed, so you can confirm before running.
• If you want the opposite — keep only certain pages — useExtract Pages instead.

Common mistakes

• Removing every page. If you list all pages, the result is empty. Keep at least one page.
• Zero-based thinking. Counting from 0 removes the wrong page. The first page is always 1.
• Listing pages that do not exist. Page numbers beyond the document length are ignored, so double-check the count if the result is not what you expected.
