How to remove pages from a PDF (free, private)
CourtPDF's Delete Pages tool lets you trim pleadings, discovery packets, or scanned exhibits in minutes. Everything runs in your browser—so no one else ever sees your filings. Follow the steps below to clean up a packet and keep the final PDF courtroom-ready.
Quick start guide
- Open the Delete Pages tool (works in any modern browser).
- Drag and drop your PDF—or load the sample—to generate page thumbnails locally.
- Enter page ranges like
1-3,5,8-or click thumbnails to select everything you want to remove. - Use the Select all / none / invert buttons to speed through big packets or duplex scans.
- Click Delete selected to rebuild the PDF without those pages.
- Download the trimmed copy instantly. The original file stays untouched on your device.
Why thumbnails matter
Spreadsheets or page-number lists make it hard to verify what you are cutting. Thumbnail previews show every page so you can spot sideways scans, blank exhibits, or duplicate attachments before you delete them. Because rendering happens in the browser, nothing ever uploads to our servers.
FAQ
How do I handle duplex or mixed-direction scans?
Use the thumbnail grid to spot every other page that needs to go. Select the misaligned pages, delete them, and then run the packet through Rotate PDF if anything still needs to be upright.
Can I clean up giant scanned binders?
Yes. The tool streams thumbnails as they render, so you can start selecting before every page finishes. Nothing uploads, and the final rebuild keeps every remaining page at full quality.
Do I have to type page ranges?
No. Ranges like 1-5 or 8- are there for power users, but you can select everything by clicking thumbnails. Mix and match both methods—the tool merges them into one selection.
