How to Delete Pages From a PDF on Windows

Updated 2026-09-17 · 2 min read

On Windows, Edge views, fills forms and lets you scribble, and that is the limit of it. 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 Windows

Open Edge or Chrome and pick the file from File Explorer. 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, a standard Windows save dialog writes it to any folder. 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 Windows versions?

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