How to Delete Pages From a PDF on Android

Updated 2026-09-17 · 2 min read

On Android, most Android PDF apps annotate rather than edit, and usually substitute the font when they do. That is why people end up searching for a way to delete pages from a PDF properly.

Deleting pages is the quickest way to shrink a file and the safest way to remove an annexe you cannot share.

Edit a PDF

Doing it on Android

Open Chrome and choose the file from Downloads, Drive or a Gmail attachment. Then work through the same steps as anywhere else:

Open the page view and select the pages you do not want.

Delete them — the content leaves the file rather than being hidden.

Check any contents page, because page links to deleted pages will break.

Export the remaining pages as a new document.

Saving the finished file

When you export, the Android share sheet saves to Drive, Downloads or a messaging app. PDF, PNG and JPG are all available.

Why nothing needs installing

Sending only the pages that matter is simpler and safer than redacting a document you never needed to share whole.

Because it all runs in a browser tab, it also works on managed school and work devices where you cannot add software.

Frequently asked

Can I undo a deletion?

Yes, before export; afterwards you need the original file.

Does it shrink the file?

Yes, often a lot if the pages held images.

Does this work on older Android versions?

Yes — any reasonably current browser is enough, regardless of the operating system version.
