How the page range format works

The input accepts three things: single pages, ranges, and any combination of the two. A single page is just its number, so 5 removes page five. A range uses a hyphen, so 12-20 removes every page from twelve to twenty inclusive. You combine them with commas, which means 1,12-20,25 removes page one, the whole block from twelve to twenty, and page twenty-five, all in a single pass.

The tool validates as you type. It rejects a range where the start is higher than the end, flags any number larger than the document actually contains, and blocks a selection that would remove every page, since a PDF must keep at least one. That means a slip like typing 200 on a fifty-page file is caught before anything is processed, rather than producing a broken result.

Order does not matter for correctness, but keeping your list in ascending order makes it far easier to read back and confirm. After processing, the tool reports how many pages were removed and how many remain, so you can check the outcome matches what you intended.

How to use this tool

💡

Upload the PDF, scroll the preview to confirm content, and type your exact pages and ranges in one box, for example 1,12-20,25. Click Delete Pages and download the trimmed file.

How It Works

Step-by-step guide to delete specific pages from a pdf:

  1. 1

    Open Delete PDF Pages

    Launch the FixTools tool in your browser. No install and no account are needed.

  2. 2

    Upload your PDF

    Drag the file onto the upload area or click to browse to it.

  3. 3

    Confirm pages in the preview

    Scroll through the preview so the page numbers you plan to type match the actual content.

  4. 4

    Type pages and ranges

    Enter your list in one box, for example 1,12-20,25. The tool validates it against the real page count as you type.

  5. 5

    Delete and download

    Click Delete Pages. Exactly those pages are removed over an encrypted connection and the trimmed PDF downloads to your device.

Real-world examples

Common situations where this approach makes a real difference:

Dropping an appendix

A consultant removes pages 30 through 48, a full appendix, from a report in one range before sending the summary version.

Cover and duplicate

An editor deletes the cover page and a repeated page at once by typing 1,25 in the box.

Non-contiguous cuts

A researcher removes scattered pages, such as 3,7,14-16, that are not needed for a shared draft.

Redacting a section

A manager removes an internal-only section, pages 8 through 11, before circulating a document outside the team.

Pro tips

Get better results with these expert suggestions:

1

List in ascending order

Writing pages from low to high, such as 1,3,14-16, makes the list easy to double-check before you commit.

2

Use ranges for blocks

A single range like 14-16 is cleaner and less error prone than typing 14,15,16.

3

Check the result stats

After processing, confirm the reported pages removed and pages remaining match your intent.

4

Extract instead when keeping fewer

If you want to keep only a handful of pages, the Extract PDF Pages tool may be quicker than deleting all the rest.
