Frequently asked questions

How is this different from other online PDF tools?
Most online PDF tools send your files to a remote server for processing. This tool processes everything locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files are never transmitted to any server, which means your document content stays entirely under your control.
Are my PDF files uploaded?
No. Your files are read directly by your browser. Your files are never transmitted over the network. The tool works entirely within the browser tab you have open.
Can I verify that files are not uploaded?
Yes. Open your browser's developer tools (F12), go to the Network tab, and watch for any outgoing requests while using the tool. You will see no file data leave your browser. The site may record an anonymous page-view count, which never includes your files and can be disabled.
Does this tool work offline?
Yes, once the page has loaded the tool processes your files entirely in your browser; tool functionality needs no network connection. You can disconnect from the internet and continue using it.
What happens when I refresh the page?
Because nothing is stored on a server, refreshing the page clears your current session. Any files you had selected will need to be selected again.
Does this tool store my files?
No. Files are held in browser memory only for as long as the page is open. Closing or refreshing the page discards them. Nothing is written to disk by the tool, and nothing is sent to a server.
Can this tool unlock password-protected PDFs?
No. This tool does not attempt to remove or bypass PDF password protection. If you know the password, the Unlock PDF tool on this site can remove it locally; then this tool can process the file.
What technologies does this tool use?
This tool uses client-side JavaScript and pdf-lib to copy the pages you keep into a fresh PDF entirely within your browser — your files never leave your browser.
Does this tool use WebAssembly?
No. This tool uses client-side JavaScript and pdf-lib for local PDF structure editing. No WebAssembly is involved.
How do I remove pages from my PDF?
Choose a PDF from your device with the file picker, then type the pages you want to delete in the box, such as 2,5-7. Click Remove, and a new PDF containing every page except those is prepared in your browser for you to save.
What page-number format should I type in the box?
Use whole, 1-based page numbers separated by commas, with hyphens for ranges, for example 2,5-7. Accepted characters are digits, commas, and hyphens; ranges must run low to high (2-5, not 5-2), and any page number larger than the document length is rejected.
Why can't I delete every page, and will my links and form fields survive?
At least one page must remain, so the tool stops you if your selection would empty the document. Because the pages you keep are copied into a fresh PDF, interactive form fields, hyperlinks, and bookmarks may not be fully carried over.
Does Remove PDF Pages cost anything to use?
Remove PDF Pages is completely free — no account, no sign-up, and no limit on how many PDFs or pages you delete. Every page removal happens directly in your browser using pdf-lib, so your file never leaves your device, and the tool is free and always will be.
