How does the Remove Blank Pages work?

Detect and remove blank pages from a PDF. Heuristic: a page is "blank" if it has no extractable text (or very little) AND no image XObjects in its resources. Useful after scanning a stack of mixed pages with auto-feed, after merging documents that had empty separator pages, or any "remove the obvious empty ones" cleanup. Sensitivity controls how aggressive the detection is — Medium is recommended for typical mixed-content PDFs.

🔒 Security & Privacy

All processing happens on your device. Your files never leave your browser, never touch our servers, and are not stored anywhere. Close the tab and the file is gone.

📱 Use it on any device

Works in any modern browser — Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android, and tablets. No installation, no app to download. Just open the page and start.

⚡ Quick & easy

Drag, drop, click. Most files process in seconds, not minutes. No watermarks added to your output, no per-day limits, and the tool always shows the result before asking you to download.

🎁 Always free, no signup

Free to use, every time. No account creation, no email required, no “trial” that converts to a paid plan. We make money from ads so you don’t have to pay.

Frequently asked

Default Medium sensitivity removes pages with ≤1 non-whitespace character AND no image XObjects. High goes up to 5 chars (catches pages with just a page number). Low requires literally zero.
