How to Remove Pages from a PDF Online
You can remove blank scans, duplicate pages, outdated appendices, or accidental inserts by selecting their thumbnails and exporting the pages that remain. HatchMyPDF performs the edit locally in the browser.
In short: Upload a copy, mark only the pages to delete, review the count and neighboring pages, then download the edited PDF.
Plan the deletion before saving
Thumbnail selection makes page removal easy, but page numbers printed inside the document do not automatically change. Removing a page can also affect bookmarks or links that pointed to the deleted page.
Step-by-step
- Upload the PDF — Select the source file and enter its known password if prompted.
- Mark pages for removal — Use the thumbnails to select unwanted pages and double-check the remaining sequence.
- Create and download the copy — Run the edit and save the new PDF to your device.
What to check before downloading
Do not delete every page. For signed documents, forms, portfolios, or PDFs with bookmarks, verify that the result still behaves as expected.
Delete pages from a PDF — fast and simple
Remove unwanted pages via thumbnails and save a clean copy. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Common questions
Can I undo a selection?
Yes, before processing you can deselect a page or reset the tool. After downloading, start again from the original file.
Will printed page numbers be updated?
No. Printed numbers are page content. Use the page-numbering tool after removal if the document needs a new sequence.
