A 40-page scan where pages 8–9 are blank, page 15 is upside-down duplicate, and page 32 is a confidential fee receipt you shouldn’t share — you need to delete pages from PDF in seconds, not re-scan or pay for Adobe Acrobat.

When Deleting Pages Is Faster Than Rescanning
- Blank pages: Scanner feeder adds white sheets between certificates.
- Duplicates: You scanned front and back but back is empty.
- Confidential: Salary slip page 12 shouldn’t go to client.
- Wrong order/blank cover: Remove cover before merging with other docs.
Delete Pages in 3 Steps (Visual)
- Upload: Open Delete Pages and drop PDF (up to 100MB, 500 pages). Thumbnails render with page numbers overlay.
- Select: Click any page — it dims and shows “Deleted” badge. Click again to restore. Use Select all blank helper if available, or type pages e.g.,
1,3,5,12-15in the input fallback. - Save: Click Delete & Download. File is rebuilt without deleted pages; remaining pages keep original quality and searchability. Verify by opening and checking page count.
Auto-Detect Blank Pages
How to spot blanks quickly:
- Zoom thumbnails to 150% — blank pages are pure white/gray.
- In Organize PDF, blank pages show no thumbnail text hint — they appear as “Blank page”.
- After deletion, always preview first/last page before compressing for portal upload.

Tips to Avoid Broken PDFs
- Don’t delete all pages — leave at least 1. Tool will block “delete all”.
- For forms, keep page numbers continuous — delete before adding numbers with Add Page Numbers.
- Need exact size after? Delete first, then Compress Under 200KB — deleting is lossless size reduction.
