Reorder, rotate and delete PDF pages. Nothing is uploaded.
Deleting pages is for the PDF that arrived with more in it than you need: a blank back page after every sheet of a double-sided scan, a cover sheet you do not want to send on, or two pages of a statement that are not part of the answer. This page opens with the Delete by page numbers row first. Type something like 2-3, 7 and press Select, and those pages are highlighted in the grid; the numbers count the pages as they are shown at that moment, so reorder first if you wish. Check the highlighted pages, then press Delete above the pages. If you picked the wrong ones, Undo brings them back, and you can also click pages in the grid instead of typing. Deleting only leaves pages out of the new file, so your original PDF is never changed. The one page you cannot remove is the last, because a PDF with no pages is not a PDF. The new file is named like your original with -pages-removed added.
Every page of your PDF appears as a thumbnail. Drag a page to a new place and a bar shows where it will land; on a phone, press and hold a page for a moment first, so a normal swipe still scrolls. If you would rather not drag, each page has Move earlier and Move later buttons, and a focused page moves with Alt plus the left or right arrow key. Under every thumbnail the number is the page's new position, and a page that has moved also shows where it started, such as was p. 5. Nothing is saved until you press Save PDF, and the original file on your device is never changed. This tool does not merge other PDFs, add blank pages or copy a page twice; for joining files use Merge PDF.
A PDF page carries a rotation setting, a multiple of 90 degrees that tells the viewer how to turn the page when it opens it. Rotating here changes only that setting, so the text, images and fonts are copied across untouched and quality does not change. A page that was already turned is handled correctly: if a scanned page is stored with a 90 degree turn and you turn it a further 270 degrees, it is saved with no turn at all. You can rotate one page with the buttons on its thumbnail, several pages by selecting them first, or every page at once with the Rotate all pages buttons. The thumbnails turn on screen at once without being redrawn.
Delete removes a page from the new PDF, not from your original file. Deleted pages no longer appear in the new PDF, and links to them are removed. Parts of a deleted page, such as a picture or font that the PDF stores once for several pages, or an attached file, can still be inside the file where special software could find them. If a deleted page is confidential, run the result through Compress PDF, which rebuilds every page as a picture. Bookmarks are not kept, fillable form fields may stop working and their boxes may look different, and files attached to a page are not carried over; the page tells you when your file has bookmarks or fields. Select pages by clicking them, or type page numbers such as 2-3, 7 into the Delete by page numbers box and press Select; the numbers count the pages as they are shown now, after any reordering, not the original numbers. Then press Delete above the pages. You cannot delete every page, because a PDF needs at least one. Undo and Redo keep your last 50 changes, with the buttons or with Ctrl or Cmd plus Z and Shift plus Ctrl or Cmd plus Z. A whole drag, one Rotate all press and one Delete of several pages each count as one step. Save PDF stays off until something has changed.
The PDF is read and rebuilt by your browser, in this tab. There is no upload step and no server that receives the file. The page counts visits with Google Analytics, using rough groups such as 1 to 10 MB, never a file name, a page number or a page count. Your device's memory sets the limits. The tool warns before opening a PDF over 200 MB or with more than 1000 pages, and it works on one file at a time. Page previews are small images drawn only for the pages near the screen, so a long document stays light. Password-protected PDFs are refused with a message asking you to remove the password first; this tool does not remove passwords.
Yes, before you save: press Undo, or Ctrl or Cmd plus Z, and the pages return in the place they were. Undo keeps your last 50 changes. Once you save, the deleted pages are gone from the new file's page list, and links to them are removed. Parts of a deleted page, such as a picture or font that the PDF stores once for several pages, or an attached file, can still be inside the file where special software could find them. If a deleted page is confidential, run the result through Compress PDF, which rebuilds every page as a picture. Your original PDF is untouched, so you can always start again from it.
No. They refer to the pages as they are shown right now. If you delete page 2 of a 5-page PDF, the old page 3 is now shown as page 2, and typing 2 selects it. The number under each thumbnail is its current position, so what you see is what you type.
Often, because the removed pages are not copied into the new file. A picture or font stays when a page you keep also uses it, or when the PDF stores it in a list shared with a page you keep. How much smaller depends on the pages: deleting a text page saves little, and deleting a full-page photograph often saves most of its size, when the picture isn't shared with a page you keep. This page does not recompress anything, so it will not shrink a file to a size you choose.
Yes. Undo and Redo keep your last 50 changes, with the buttons above the pages or with Ctrl or Cmd plus Z, and Shift plus Ctrl or Cmd plus Z to redo. One drag, one Rotate all press and one Delete of several selected pages are each a single step. Nothing is saved until you press Save PDF.
Open Rotate all pages in the Quick actions and press Left 90°, Right 90° or Turn 180°. Every page that is still in the document turns at once, and you can undo it in one step. To turn only some pages, select them first and use Rotate right or Rotate left above the pages.
Yes. Click the pages you want gone, or type numbers such as 2-3, 7 into Delete by page numbers and press Select, then press Delete. The numbers follow the pages as they are shown now. A 5-page PDF with two pages deleted saves as a 3-page file. You cannot delete every page.
No. Rotating changes only the page's rotation setting. The text, images and fonts are copied into the new PDF without being drawn again or compressed a second time, so a scanned page looks exactly as sharp after a 90 degree turn as before.
Not here. This tool works on one PDF and only reorders, rotates and deletes its pages. To join two or more PDFs into one, use Merge PDF, and to pull a few pages out into a separate file, use Split PDF.
Your turn is added to the page's own rotation. A page stored with a 90 degree turn that you turn 270 degrees further is saved with no turn, and one you turn 90 degrees further is saved at 180. The thumbnail always shows the page the way it will look.
