Remove Blank Pages from PDF
Remove blank pages from PDF files automatically instead of hunting for them by hand. You see which pages were removed before you download.
How to remove blank pages from PDF
Drop your PDF into the box.
Set the sensitivity. Raise it if faint scanner marks keep a page from counting as blank.
Run it, check the list of removed pages and download the cleaned PDF.
Remove blank pages from a scanned PDF
Duplex scanners save the empty backs of single-sided sheets. This tool renders each page at low resolution and removes the ones where almost every pixel is white.
Scans are rarely pure white, so a sensitivity slider decides how much dust or bleed-through still counts as blank.
Delete other pages by hand
If a page has a few words on it, it is not blank and stays. To drop pages with content, use Delete PDF Pages and pick them from thumbnails. The guide to deleting pages from a PDF covers both approaches.

Frequently asked questions
How do I remove blank pages from a PDF?
Drop the PDF here and run the tool. Pages that are almost entirely white are removed and listed so you can check them.
Can it remove blank pages automatically?
Yes. Detection is automatic. You only set the sensitivity if your scanner leaves marks on empty pages.
Will it delete pages with very little text?
Not at normal sensitivity. A page needs to be almost completely white to count as blank. Lower the sensitivity if a sparse page gets caught.
What if a blank page is not detected?
Raise the sensitivity and run it again, or remove that page yourself with Delete PDF Pages.
Is my scanned PDF uploaded?
No. Pages are checked in your browser. You can compress the cleaned file the same way.
