  4. Download the new PDF.

  1. Open the PDF in Preview and choose View > Thumbnails.
  2. Select the page thumbnails to remove.

Tips

  • You cannot delete every page: at least one must remain.
  • Removing pages does not always shrink the file a lot if the deleted pages were plain text; use Compress PDF for that.

Frequently asked questions

Can I undo a deletion?

The web tool never changes your original file, so you can always start again from it.

Will links and form fields still work?

Page content is kept. Links inside the kept pages remain; form fields may need checking.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The pages are removed in your browser.
