Split / Delete Pages
0 pages
Uncheck pages to delete them. Large PDFs load page previews as you scroll.
Split a PDF or delete extra pages
Split / Delete Pages lets you keep some pages of a PDF and drop the rest. That is how you extract an admit card from a large notice, remove blank scanner pages, or send only the marksheet side of a two-sided scan.
You preview pages as a grid, toggle keep or remove, then download a new file. The original on your disk is unchanged until you replace it yourself.
The tool is for files you own or are allowed to edit. It is not a way to strip watermarks from copyrighted books.
How to extract PDF pages
Upload the PDF and wait for page previews. Untick pages you do not want. Download. If you only needed one page as an image, PDF to Image may be a better last step after you have isolated that page.
- Page previews before you cut
- Keep or remove each page
- Download a smaller PDF
- No login
Split versus arrange
Arrange PDF changes order but keeps every page. Split removes pages. If a scan is both out of order and full of blanks, arrange first or split first — either works — then compress if you must upload.
Very large PDFs may take longer to preview. Stay on the tab until the grid is ready. If a file is password locked, save an unlocked copy from the sender before splitting.
Blank pages and duplicate scans
Phone scanning apps often insert a blank or a duplicate. Untick those pages so the officer who opens your file is not scrolling through noise. Check both sides of a leaf before you drop a page that had a stamp on the back.
Tips
Name the download clearly, for example degree-only.pdf, so you do not mix it with the full scan. Keep the full original in a safe folder. Splitting is lossy in the sense that the new file no longer contains the dropped pages.
If the goal is photos of each page, use PDF to Image after you have the page set you want. If the goal is one combined packet, split each source then Merge PDF.
Teachers and office users often split a question paper from an answer key that arrived as one download. Keep the original zip or PDF from the board; your extract is only a working copy. If page previews look like a grey box, the PDF may use an uncommon encoding — try opening it locally and re-saving a print-to-PDF copy, then split that file.

Frequently asked questions
Can I delete pages from a PDF for free?
Yes. Untick pages you do not want and download a new PDF.
Does this split one PDF into many files?
It builds one new PDF from the pages you keep. Run it more than once if you need several extracts from the same original.
Is the original PDF changed?
No. You download a new file. Your original stays as it was unless you overwrite it.
Can I preview pages first?
Yes. The grid shows page previews so you can choose what to keep.
What if I only need page order changed?
Use Arrange PDF instead of deleting pages.
Are files uploaded?
Page picking runs in the browser. We do not keep a library of split PDFs.
