Pages to delete

How it works

The tool reads your PDF with pdf-lib and copies only the pages you keep into a new file, in their original order. Nothing is re-rendered or re-compressed: text stays selectable and fonts, images and page sizes are kept exactly. Because the removed pages are not copied, their images and fonts are left out too, so the file usually gets smaller. Previews are drawn with pdf.js, and pages marked for deletion are faded with a red outline.

Ranges work like a print dialog: 3 is one page, 5-7 is pages 5 to 7, and 10- means page 10 to the end. Separate them with commas.

Generating the PDFs yourself?

Trimming pages out of generated PDFs every time? Render only what you need instead. The Shotmint API renders PDFs straight from a URL or raw HTML in Chromium, with A4/Letter sizes, margins and backgrounds:

curl "https://shotmint.creasework.com/v1/pdf?url=https://example.com&format=A4" -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" -o page.pdf

Each render is 1 credit. €5 buys 2,000 with no subscription, and credits never expire. Try it without a key on URL to PDF and HTML to PDF.

FAQ

Is my PDF uploaded? No. Everything runs in JavaScript on this page, so your documents stay on your device. It works offline once the page has loaded.

Can I delete every page? No. A PDF needs at least one page, so the button stays disabled until at least one page is kept.

What about bookmarks and form fields? The pages you keep look exactly the same, but the document outline (bookmarks) and fillable form fields are not carried over to the new file. Fill or flatten forms with fill PDF form first.

I want to keep a few pages, not delete a few. Type the pages you want to keep, then press Invert. Or use split PDF to extract them, in any order.

Why does it say password-protected? Encrypted PDFs can't be changed without the password. Save a copy without the password in your PDF viewer, then try again.
