Deleting pages is the right move when most of a PDF is fine but a few pages need to disappear — the cover sheet your scanner inserted, the blank back-page of a duplex print, the draft revision marks before you send the final to a client. The Organize tool gives you a thumbnail grid where every page has a trash icon on hover.
PDFly does the deletion via pdf-lib in your browser, so the original file stays put on your disk. The output is a new PDF without the deleted pages — content, fonts, and remaining bookmarks intact. If you change your mind mid-flow, the page is easy to restore from the source PDF before you click the final save.

Step 2 — Upload your PDF

Step 3 — Delete the pages you don't want
Hover any page thumbnail to reveal the trash icon ("Delete page"). Click it to remove that page from the output. The page count in the sidebar updates immediately. Repeat for each page you want gone — blank pages, internal cover sheets, draft revisions.

Step 4 — Save the trimmed PDF
Set the output filename in the sidebar and click "Organize PDF". PDFly builds the new PDF without the deleted pages and the download starts automatically — usually inside a second.
