Quick answer
To delete pages from a PDF, open a page-removal tool, click the thumbnails of the pages you don't want (or type a range like 3-5), then save. The remaining pages keep their original quality. LocalPDF also flags blank pages so you can remove scanner leftovers in one go.
How do I delete pages step by step?
- Open Delete pages and drop in your PDF.
- Click each page you want to remove. Selected pages turn red.
- Blank pages are flagged automatically — click them to remove them too.
- Check the counter, then click Delete selected and download.
Should I delete pages or extract the ones I want?
| If you want to… | Use |
|---|---|
| Remove a few pages from a long file | Delete pages |
| Keep only a few pages | Extract pages |
| Remove, reorder and rotate together | Organize pages |
Does deleting pages reduce file size?
Yes, usually. Removing pages removes their images and content. If the file is still large, the remaining pages may contain big images — try Compress PDF.
Can I undo a deletion?
Your original file is never changed; you download a new copy. In Organize pages, removed pages are marked and can be restored before you save.
