About removing blank pages

Duplex scanners and Office exports often leave empty pages scattered through a document. This tool finds pages that are blank (or nearly blank) and removes them in one pass.

Each page is analysed in your browser for content; the ones that are empty are dropped and a clean PDF is rebuilt from the rest. You can review which pages were flagged before downloading. The file is never uploaded.

Delete Blank Pages — frequently asked questions

How does it decide a page is blank?+

It renders each page and measures how much of it is actually marked. Pages below the sensitivity threshold you pick are flagged — 'Strict' only catches truly empty pages, 'Loose' also catches pages with just a page number or a stray speck.

What if it flags a page I want to keep (or misses one)?+

Every page is shown as a thumbnail before anything happens — tap any page to flip whether it's removed. Nothing is deleted until you confirm.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?+

Yes — it works from the rendered image of each page, so scans are exactly the case it's built for. Faint scanner speckle on an otherwise empty page is handled by the 'Loose' setting.

Do you upload my files to a server?+

No — every tool here processes your files entirely on your device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. The only exception is the AI tools, which send the extracted text (not the file) to Claude to do their work.

Is there a file size limit?+

There's no artificial limit we impose, but since processing happens in your browser, very large files (500+ MB or 1,000+ pages) are limited by your device's memory rather than by us.
