How it works

When you select a PDF, the file is parsed by pdf-lib to retrieve the total page list.

The pages to delete are parsed into a unique set of indices.

A new PDF document is initialized. The script copies only the page indexes that are NOT in the deletion list, using the copyPages method.

This preserves all original fonts, drawings, and formatting for the kept pages while removing the unwanted pages.

Privacy Priority. Your PDF stays on your local device. The conversion process is run locally in your web browser cache.
