UlvixorDelete PDF Pages
Duplicate cover pages, blank pages from a scan, or a page with information that shouldn't be shared: mark the thumbnails of the pages you don't need and generate a new PDF without them, in the same order as the rest. pdf.js draws the preview of each page and pdf-lib assembles the final document, all inside your browser, without uploading the file to any server.
How it works
- Load the PDF; a numbered thumbnail of each page appears so you can identify which ones you want to remove.
- Click the thumbnails of the pages you want to delete; each selected one is highlighted with a border.
- A counter shows how many of the total pages you've marked for deletion.
- Click 'Delete selected pages' so pdf-lib copies only the pages you didn't mark into the new document.
- Download the result as document-without-pages.pdf.
Use cases
- Remove a blank or badly scanned page from a digitized document.
- Delete an instruction sheet or intermediate cover page before archiving a contract.
- Remove pages with sensitive information before sharing a PDF externally.
- Trim a long report down to only the relevant sections by deleting the rest.

Common mistakes
- Trying to delete every page in the document.The tool prevents this and shows the error 'You can't delete all pages of the document'; leave at least one page unmarked.
- Confusing this mode with page extraction and mistakenly marking the pages you want to keep.Here you select what you want to delete, not what you want to keep; the 'X of Y pages selected' counter helps confirm how many you're about to remove before processing.
- Clicking 'Delete selected pages' without marking any thumbnail.The button stays disabled until you select at least one page, so an empty result can't be generated by mistake.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, every page is shown as a thumbnail generated with pdf.js, so you can visually identify which one you're about to delete.
The tool rejects the operation with an error, since the resulting document needs to keep at least one page.
Yes, the pages that aren't deleted keep exactly the same order they had in the original document.
No. The file stays on your device the whole time: pdf.js only draws the thumbnails on screen and pdf-lib assembles the final document locally.
Alternatives
Adobe Acrobat or macOS's Preview app can also delete individual PDF pages. Here you get the same result without installing anything, with the advantage of seeing a real thumbnail of every page before deciding what to remove.
