Live tool: https://lofttools.com/tools/pdf-tools/delete-pdf-pages

Category: PDF & Documents

## How it works

1. **Select PDF** — Drop the PDF you want to remove pages from, or click to browse
2. **Select pages to delete** — Preview thumbnails and click on pages you want to remove
3. **Download** — Download your PDF without the deleted pages

## FAQ

### Can I delete a range of pages at once?

Yes. Click the first page in a range, then shift-click the last page — both and everything between them toggle together. You can mix ranges with individual page clicks.

### Are the remaining page numbers renumbered?

Yes. The output PDF renumbers sequentially from 1. If page 5 of a 10-page PDF is deleted, what was page 6 becomes page 5 in the output. Bookmarks to surviving pages update their targets automatically; bookmarks to deleted pages drop.

### Is this destructive — can I get the original back?

The original file on your device is never modified. This tool downloads a new PDF without the selected pages. Keep the original if you may need those pages later.

## Privacy — what we do not do

This tool runs entirely in the browser via WebAssembly. Your file never reaches a Loft Tools server. Specifically:

- **No upload.** The file bytes load into the browser tab's memory and process on your own CPU. Open DevTools → Network and observe zero outbound requests carrying file data while Delete PDF Pages runs.
- **No AI training on your file.** Loft does not train models. We could not train on a file we cannot see.
- **No content scanning.** No virus, copyright, or content-moderation pass against your file. The bytes are not accessible to us.
- **No server-side log of file contents, filenames, or EXIF metadata.** Cloudflare edge captures URL and truncated IP for abuse defense (standard CDN behaviour). Cloudflare Web Analytics records anonymous page hits, no cookies, no PII. Nothing about your file content reaches any log.
- **No retention.** Close the tab and the file leaves browser memory. No backups exist on our side because no copy ever existed on our side.
- **No account.** No email, no signup, no auth, no telemetry tied to you.
- **Offline-capable after first visit** (PWA). Once you've loaded a tool, it caches; later sessions work without internet. For high-sensitivity files, run the tool once online to warm the cache, then disconnect before processing.

Compare with upload-based services: each transmits your file to a processing server. Even over HTTPS, each has logs, retention windows, and subpoena exposure. Loft has none of these because the server architecture does not include your file.
