PDF Blank Page Remover

How to Remove Blank Pages from a PDF

1. Drop your PDF onto the tool, or click Choose PDF. Every page is scanned as soon as the file loads.
2. Read the page list. Each row says either blank detected or content. Pages flagged as blank start out marked Remove, and all the others are marked Keep.
3. Adjust it by hand. Tick a page to keep it and untick it to remove it. Select All Blanks marks every detected blank page for removal, and Invert flips all your choices.
4. Click Remove Blank Pages. The new PDF is built in your browser tab.
5. Click Download Clean PDF. The copy is saved with _cleaned added to the file name, and the summary shows the page count before and after.

Why Use This Blank Page Remover

• Your file stays on your device. The pages are drawn and checked by code running in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
• Detection by what you can see. Each page is drawn and checked for anything that is not close to white, so it spots empty pages even when a scanner left an invisible text layer behind.
• You make the final call. Nothing is deleted until you have looked at the list, and any page can be switched either way.
• Before and after counts. The result shows how many pages the original had and how many remain.

Good to know: the kept pages are copied straight from your original, so text stays selectable, page sizes and orientation don't change, and links on those pages keep working. Detection is by pixels, so a page that holds only a tiny mark, such as a page number, can be flagged as blank, while a noisy or gray scan may not be. Always scan the list before you click Remove Blank Pages.

FAQ

How do I remove blank pages from a PDF?

Drop the PDF onto the tool, review the page list, and click Remove Blank Pages. Then download the clean copy. Pages detected as blank are already marked for removal.

How does the tool decide that a page is blank?

It draws each page and counts the pixels that are not close to white. If that share is below about half a percent, the page is flagged as blank.

A page with only a page number was flagged. Can I keep it?

Yes. Tick the box next to that page so it shows Keep, and it stays in the new file.

Will the text in my PDF still be selectable afterwards?

Yes. The tool copies the pages you keep from your original file, so text stays selectable and searchable, and each page keeps its size and orientation.

Can it remove pages that are gray or have scanner noise?

Not reliably. A page with a gray background or heavy speckle can look like content to the detector. You can still mark any page for removal by unticking it.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere, and is there a size limit?

No, the PDF stays on your device while it is processed in your browser. Your file size limit is shown on this page, and a free account raises it.
