Delete Blank Pages from PDF

Find and remove empty pages from a PDF — blank scanner backs and separator sheets — with adjustable sensitivity and a review before saving.

About Delete Blank Pages from PDF

Double-sided scanning often leaves empty back pages in a PDF. This tool checks every page for ink, ignoring scanner edges and specks of dust, and marks the blank ones. Adjust the sensitivity, keep any page that contains text, or click pages to mark and unmark them before saving.

The pages you keep are copied exactly as they are, so text stays selectable and scans keep their quality. It is useful for scanned contracts, answer sheets, bank documents and office files before sharing or printing. Everything runs in your browser and your file is never uploaded.

How to use Delete Blank Pages from PDF

  1. Drop a PDF or try the sample scan with two blank pages.
  2. Every page is checked automatically; blank pages are marked in red.
  3. Adjust the sensitivity, or click any page to mark or unmark it.
  4. Click Delete blank pages to download the PDF without them.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is opened and processed entirely inside your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, so it is safe for confidential documents.

How does it decide a page is blank?

Each page is rendered at low resolution and the share of dark pixels is measured, ignoring a thin band at the edges (scanner borders) and single specks of dust. Pages below the sensitivity level are marked. You always review the marks before saving.

A page with just a page number was marked — why?

A lone page number covers very little of the page. Tick Keep pages that contain text to keep any page with real text, or click that page to unmark it.

Is the rest of the PDF changed?

No. The pages you keep are copied exactly as they are, so text stays selectable and images keep their quality.

What about password-protected PDFs?

PDFs that open without a password but block editing or printing (an owner password, common on bank statements and government downloads) work directly — the restrictions are lifted in your browser. A PDF that asks for a password to open must be unlocked first with Unlock PDF (you need its password).

How do I remove blank pages from a scanned PDF?

Drop the PDF and wait a moment while every page is checked. Blank pages are marked; review them and click Delete blank pages.

What if a nearly empty page is marked by mistake?

Click that page to unmark it, lower the sensitivity, or tick Keep pages that contain text.
