How to Remove Pages from a PDF Free
Scanned documents often include blank pages. Reports come with pages you don't need. Contracts have signature pages that belong in a separate file. Removing specific pages from a PDF should be quick and simple — and it is, if you use the right tool.
RightPDFKit removes pages from any PDF entirely in your browser. No upload, no account, no file size limit.
How to remove pages from a PDF — step by step
Open RightPDFKit
Go to rightpdfkit.com and click Remove Pages in the sidebar under Organise.
Upload your PDF
Drag and drop your document or click to browse. The file loads directly in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server.
Select pages to remove
Click on page thumbnails to select them for deletion. You can select individual pages, ranges (e.g. pages 3–7) or every other page.
Download the result
Click Remove Pages and download the PDF with those pages deleted. The remaining pages keep their original order.

Common reasons to remove pages from a PDF
- Blank pages — scanners frequently produce blank pages between double-sided documents
- Cover pages — removing the cover before forwarding to colleagues who don't need it
- Confidential sections — removing sensitive sections before sharing a document externally
- Appendices — stripping large appendices to create a smaller file for email
- Duplicate pages — removing duplicate scans from multi-page documents
- Signature pages — extracting the final signature page into a separate file
Remove pages without losing quality
RightPDFKit removes pages by rebuilding the PDF document without the selected pages — it doesn't re-render or recompress the remaining pages. Fonts, images and formatting on the pages that remain are exactly as they were in the original file.
What to do after removing pages
- File too large? — run it through Compress PDF to reduce the size
- Need to combine with another PDF? — use Merge PDFs
- Want to add page numbers to the result? — use the Page Numbers tool
- Need to sign the final document? — use Sign PDF
Frequently asked questions
Can I remove multiple pages at once?
Yes. Select as many pages as you want before clicking Remove Pages. You can select individual pages, click-drag to select a range, or use keyboard shortcuts to select multiple non-consecutive pages.
Can I undo removing pages?
RightPDFKit creates a new file when you download — your original PDF on your device is untouched. If you removed the wrong pages, simply reload the original file and start again.
Can I remove pages on iPhone?
Yes. Open rightpdfkit.com in Safari on iPhone, tap Remove Pages, upload from Files, select pages to remove and download the result.
Will removing pages change the page numbering in the PDF?
If your PDF has embedded page numbers in the page content itself (typed numbers), those remain as-is. To update page numbers, use the Page Numbers tool after removing pages.
