Is removing pages from PDFs really free?
Yes, completely free with no limits. Remove pages from unlimited PDF files of any size, as many times as you want. No watermarks, no signup, no credit card required.
Do my PDFs get uploaded to a server?
Never. All page removal happens locally on your computer. Your files never leave your device - perfect for sensitive documents.
How do I choose which pages to remove?
Enter the page numbers you want to delete. You can list individual pages (e.g., 1, 3, 5) and ranges (e.g., 5-10) in the same field. FileHop keeps all the other pages and creates a new PDF from them.
Can I save the result as a new file?
Yes. By default FileHop saves the result as a new PDF (with an "_edited" suffix) so your original stays untouched. You can also choose a custom save location, or replace the original file directly.
Can I remove every page from a PDF?
No. A PDF must keep at least one page, so FileHop won't let you remove all of them. If you need just one or a few pages instead, use the Split PDF tool to extract the pages you want.
Can I remove pages from a password-protected PDF?
Yes, if you know the password. Enter it when prompted and FileHop will remove the selected pages.
Does it work offline?
Yes, FileHop works 100% offline after installation. No internet required for removing pages from PDFs.
