Delete pages from a PDF free
Remove blank, duplicate or unwanted pages from a PDF and download the trimmed file — all in your browser, with no upload. ToolCrix rebuilds the document without the pages you mark, so the result is a clean, smaller PDF that's ready to send.
How to do it
- Add your PDF above.
- Mark the pages to delete — single pages, ranges, or several at once.
- Download the trimmed PDF.
The pages people most often need gone
Blank pages inserted by double-sided scanning are the classic case — a duplex scanner emits an empty page for every one-sided sheet in the stack. Other regulars: cover sheets and fax headers, the “this page intentionally left blank” padding in official forms, duplicate scans where a page went through twice, the terms-and-conditions tail nobody asked for, and printer test pages that snuck into a combined file. Deleting them makes the document lighter, keeps page numbering sane when the file is printed double-sided, and stops recipients paging through junk to find the content.
Deleting pages vs extracting pages
They're mirror images of the same job: deleting removes the pages you name and keeps the rest, while extracting keeps the pages you name and drops the rest. If you want 3 pages out of 50, extracting is faster; if you want 47 of 50, deleting the 3 offenders is. ToolCrix covers both — this page handles deletion, and the Split PDF tool handles extraction.
Private by design
Because the work happens locally in your browser, the document never leaves your device — which matters when you're trimming a scanned lease, a payslip bundle or anything else you wouldn't post to a stranger's server. Removed pages are genuinely gone from the output file, not merely hidden — unlike some editors that only flag pages as deleted, the trimmed PDF simply doesn't contain them, so there's nothing for a recipient to un-hide. Trimming is also lossless for what remains: kept pages aren't re-rendered, so text stays searchable and images keep full quality.
Frequently asked questions
Can I delete several pages or ranges at once? Yes — ToolCrix removes any combination of single pages and ranges in one pass, so clearing every other (blank) page of a duplex scan takes seconds.
Is the original PDF modified? No — ToolCrix writes a new trimmed file to your downloads; the original stays exactly as it was, so mistakes cost nothing.
Are deleted pages really removed, or just hidden? Really removed — the PDF ToolCrix produces simply doesn't contain those page objects, so their content can't be recovered from the output file.
Does the file get smaller after deleting pages? Usually yes — the trimmed PDF from ToolCrix drops the deleted pages' images and content streams, so removing scanned pages cuts size roughly in proportion.
Should I delete pages or extract the ones I want? Whichever means marking fewer pages — use this ToolCrix tool to remove a handful of bad pages, or the Split PDF tool when you only need a few pages out of a long document.
