Is the PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. Files are read and rewritten locally with pdf-lib and pdfjs. Nothing leaves your browser.

Why is my file rejected?

Files above 200MB or PDFs with more than 500 pages are blocked to avoid memory issues on lower-end devices.

Do bookmarks and links survive editing?

Basic annotations usually do, but bookmarks, form fields, and interactive elements may be dropped when pages are copied.

Click Apply, then Download to save the result.

Examples

Drop a scanned cover page

Input: PDF whose first page is a cover.

Output: Use Remove Before with page 2 to keep pages 2 to end.
