    What this does

    Deleting removes the pages you name and keeps everything else, which is the same job as extracting looked at from the other end — use whichever is fewer to type. Bookmarks that pointed at a deleted page are dropped, and the ones that pointed at pages that survive still work.

    Questions people ask

    When should I use this instead of Extract pages?

    Whichever list is shorter. Deleting page 5 of a 300-page document is one number; extracting the rest is two ranges. They produce the same file.

    Can I get a deleted page back?

    Not from the result — it genuinely does not contain that page. The file you dropped in is untouched, though, so you still have it.

    Is my file uploaded anywhere?

    No. The work happens in this browser tab, on your own machine. There is no server in this product to send a file to, which is why the promise is checkable rather than something you have to take on trust: open your browser's network panel and watch it do the work without making a request.

    Is there a size limit, or a limit on how many files?

    None that we impose. The limit is your own machine's memory, because that is where the work happens — a few hundred megabytes is comfortable on a laptop, and less on a phone. There is no daily task counter, no queue and no account.

    What does it cost, and what is the catch?

    Nothing, and there is no paid tier that unlocks features: the whole product is the free one. That is affordable because running it costs us nothing — your computer does the work — so there is no per-file cost to recover, no advertising and no data to sell.
