How do I choose which pages to remove?

Type them into the Pages field. A single page is 3, a range is 2-4, several pages are 1,3,7, and you can combine them: 1,4-6 removes pages 1, 4, 5 and 6. Everything you do not name is kept, in its original order.

What happens to the pages I keep?

They come back untouched and in order, as one document. Pages are copied across rather than re-rendered, so text stays selectable and searchable and images keep their resolution — only the pages you named are gone. Nothing of a removed page stays hidden in the file, and bookmarks and links that pointed to it are dropped; the rest keep working.

Can I remove every page?

No. A PDF with no pages is not a document, so a selection that would empty it is refused and nothing is produced. Leave at least one page; if you meant to keep only a few pages, Split PDF extracts them instead.

What if I name a page that does not exist?

The job stops and tells you how many pages the document has, so you can fix the selection. Nothing is removed until the whole selection is valid, so you never get back a document missing pages you did not mean to cut.

Is the original PDF changed?

Never. Your upload is read and then deleted, and the pages you keep are written into a new document. Nothing is written back to the file you sent.

Is this converter free?

Yes. Every conversion on ConvertNicely is free to use, with no account and no watermark on the result. Everyone can run 50 jobs and upload 2 GB a day, with or without an account.

What happens to my files?

Your uploaded file is deleted from our servers the moment the conversion finishes, whether it succeeded or failed. The converted result is deleted automatically one hour later, and you can delete it yourself at any time with the Delete button.

Is there a file size limit?

Files up to 95 MB are accepted for this conversion. Larger limits apply to paid plans in future, but the free limit is generous enough for the overwhelming majority of PDF conversions.

Do I need to install anything?

No. ConvertNicely runs entirely in your browser and on our servers, so there is nothing to download or install. It works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The whole site is built mobile-first, so you can upload from your camera roll or files app, convert, and download the result without leaving your browser.

Delete Pages from a PDF

Sometimes a PDF carries pages that should not go out with it — a cover sheet, a blank back page, an internal note tucked into a report. This removes the pages you name and hands back everything else in order, as a single document. Nothing is re-rendered, so the pages you keep stay exactly as they were: text selectable, images at full resolution.

Worth knowing

Pages are removed by page number: a range is 2-4, individual pages are 1,3,7, and you can combine them. Removing every page is refused — a document has to keep at least one page. A page number the document does not have stops the job with a message. Password-protected PDFs are refused; Unlock PDF removes the password first (a PDF that only restricts printing or copying unlocks without one). Document properties such as author and title are not carried over.

Why delete pages from a PDF?

Dropping a cover sheet or fax header before forwarding a document
