This tool needs JavaScript because it processes the PDF in your browser rather than on a server. The instructions and FAQ below are readable as they are.
Remove blank sheets, bad scans and duplicated pages, then put the rest in the right order. Deletion only happens on screen: nothing changes in the original, and nothing is written until you download.
Buttons and keyboard shortcuts are provided alongside dragging, for setups where dragging is awkward.
How to use it
- Pick one PDF.
- Click the thumbnails of the pages to remove. Several can be selected at once.
- Press “Delete selected pages”. The ✕ on a card deletes that one page.
- Reorder what is left with the ‹ › buttons on a card, or Ctrl+←/→ and Ctrl+Home/End.
- Press “Download the new PDF” to save the tidied result.
Examples
-
Drop three blank sheets a scanner inserted
Click the three blank cards to select them, then press “Delete selected pages” once.
-
Move the last page to position two
Focus the last card and press Ctrl+← to step it forward. The status line reports where it landed.
-
When everything is deleted
If no pages are left, the download button is disabled and says why. “Start over” returns you to a clean state.
Questions
Can I undo a deletion?
There is no undo in this version. Deletion only affects the screen, so pressing “Start over” and picking the same file again restores the original state. The file on disk is never modified.
Can I reorder without a mouse?
Tab into the page list, move between cards with the arrow keys, and reorder with Ctrl+←/→. Ctrl+Home/End sends a page to the front or the end. The ‹ › buttons on each card do the same thing.
Is the deleted content really gone from the file?
The downloaded PDF is written from the pages you kept. That said, this is not a redaction or sanitising tool, so for sensitive documents check the result yourself.
