How to remove blank pages

  1. Choose your PDF. Blank pages are found and selected for you.
  2. Check them: tick or untick pages, or choose how strict "blank" should be.
  3. Press Remove selected pages and download.

How blank pages are found

  • Each page is drawn small and its share of dark pixels is measured. The outer edge is ignored, where scanners leave shadows.
  • "Empty with a few specks" suits most scans. "Almost empty" also catches pages with just a page number or a line.
  • Small pictures of the pages that look blank are shown, so you can check before removing them.

Frequently asked questions

Can a page with very little text be removed by mistake?

Only if you choose "Almost empty". The pages are only selected; you can untick any page before removing.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. It is processed in your browser and never sent anywhere.
