Delete pages from a PDF without uploading it
Drop a PDF, pick the pages you don’t want, delete them, and save the trimmed document — without ever uploading the file. Free, unlimited, entirely in your browser.
No sign-up. No upload. Nothing to install.
How to delete pages from a PDF
- Open your PDF. Drop the document onto PDFLight. Nothing is uploaded.
- Select the pages to remove. Tick them in the sidebar, or switch to grid view to see every page at once.
- Delete. Click Delete. The pages are removed and the rest re-numbered automatically.
- Save. Click Save. The trimmed PDF is written straight to your disk.
Trim locally, keep the original safe
Removing a blank scan, a cover sheet, or a page with personal details you don’t want to share is one of the most common PDF chores — and one you should be able to do without emailing the whole file to a stranger’s server first.
Every other free PDF tool works the same way: you upload your file, a server you know nothing about processes it, and you trust it to delete the copy afterwards. PDFLight does not. The entire editor is JavaScript running on your own machine, so your document is read into your browser's memory and never travels anywhere. There is no upload endpoint — not as a policy, but as a fact of how the application is built.
Every deletion is undoable (Ctrl+Z), and the original file on your disk is untouched until you choose Save — so you can trim freely without fear of losing anything.
Frequently asked questions
Can I delete several pages at once?
Yes. Select any number of pages in the sidebar or grid view and delete them in one click.
Is the file uploaded to remove pages?
No. The document is rebuilt in your browser without the deleted pages. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Can I undo a deletion?
Yes, with Ctrl+Z. Every edit in PDFLight is undoable.
Does deleting pages change the original file?
Not until you save. Your original stays untouched on disk until you choose Save.
Can I extract pages instead of deleting the rest?
Yes. Select the pages you want to keep and use Extract to pull them into a new document.
