Delete PDF Pages or Add Blank Pages Online

How to delete PDF pages or add blank pages

Remove pages

1. Open the Remove Pages tab and choose a PDF. A thumbnail of every page appears.
2. Click the pages you want to delete, or type page numbers such as 2, 5-7 and click Select. The line under the box shows what is selected.
3. Click Remove Selected Page(s). The preview updates so you can check the result, and you can remove more pages.
4. Click Download Final PDF. The file is saved as yourfile_edited.pdf.

Add blank pages

1. Open the Add Pages tab and choose a PDF.
2. Type the position for the blank page. Position 1 puts it before the first page; the last number adds it at the end.
3. Click Add Page. Repeat for as many blank pages as you need; the preview marks each one in green.
4. Click Download Updated PDF. The file is saved as yourfile_with_blank_pages.pdf.

How it works

The PDF is opened in your browser. PDF.js draws the page thumbnails, and the pdf-lib library builds the new file. When you remove pages, every page you did not select is copied, in order, into a new PDF. When you add pages, the original pages are copied and an empty page is inserted at each position you chose. Nothing is re-rendered, so the pages you keep look exactly as before.

Page count: pages after = pages before − pages removed + blank pages added. Example: you downloaded a 12-page UPSC application printout but the portal only needs pages 1-4. Type 5-12, click Select and remove them: 12 − 8 = 4 pages are left. To print a two-sided copy where page 4 starts on a new sheet, add one blank page at position 4: the file now has 5 pages.

Tips

• Check the preview after removing pages; you can keep removing before you download.
• Position numbers change as you add blank pages. The position box always suggests the end of the current document.
• Password-protected PDFs cannot be edited. Save an unprotected copy first, then upload it.
• Keep your original. The tool never changes the file you uploaded; it downloads a new copy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I delete pages from a PDF?

Open the Remove Pages tab, upload the PDF, click the pages you want to delete (or type numbers such as 2, 5-7), then click Remove Selected Page(s) and Download Final PDF. The new file is saved with _edited added to its name.

How do I add a blank page to a PDF?

Open the Add Pages tab, upload the PDF, type the position for the blank page and click Add Page. Repeat for more pages, then click Download Updated PDF to save the file with _with_blank_pages in its name.

What size is the blank page?

A blank page takes the size of the page just before it, or of the first page if you insert it at position 1. So in an A4 PDF the blank page is A4 too.

Can I remove every page of a PDF?

No. A PDF must have at least one page, so the tool keeps at least one. To get rid of the whole document, simply delete the file.

Does deleting pages reduce the quality of the rest of the PDF?

No. The pages you keep are copied as they are, so text stays selectable and images keep their resolution. The file usually gets smaller because the removed pages are gone.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Pages are removed and added in your browser with the pdf-lib and PDF.js libraries, so the file never leaves your device.
