About this tool

Scanned documents collect junk. The blank back of a form, a cover sheet the recipient does not need, a duplicate that fed through the scanner twice. Deleting them by hand in a PDF reader usually means paying for one.

This tool shows the whole document as thumbnails so you can see exactly what you are removing before you commit. The pages you keep are copied across untouched, so quality and selectable text survive.

How to remove pages

  1. Add your PDF. Thumbnails of every page appear once it has been read.
  2. Tick the pages you want to delete. Ticked pages are the ones removed.
  3. Select Remove pages to build and download the trimmed document.

Common questions

Is my original file changed?

Never. Doxly builds a new document and leaves your source file exactly as it was on disk.

Can I undo a deletion?

Untick the page before saving and it comes back. Nothing is written until you select Remove pages, so you can change your mind freely up to that point.

How is this different from Split PDF?

Removing is about what you throw away; splitting is about how you divide a document up. If you want to keep a small selection rather than discard one, Extract pages is more direct.

Why do the thumbnails take a moment?

Every page is drawn once to make a preview, and that rendering happens on your device rather than a server. A long document takes a few seconds.
