Remove blank pages

Remove blank pages.

Scanners love slipping empty pages into a document — the back of every single-sided sheet. Open your PDF, click Scan for blank pages, and every empty-looking page gets marked, tolerant of scanner noise and edge shadows. Review the marks, unmark anything you want to keep, then delete. The pages you keep stay pixel-for-pixel lossless.

What you get

  • Scans every page and drops the empty ones — the blank backs of scans, separator sheets and stray whitespace pages — in one pass.
  • You review what it flagged before saving, so a page that's near-empty on purpose isn't removed by surprise.
  • Cleans up scanner output so a 40-page duplex scan doesn't arrive with 20 empty backs.
  • Runs in your browser — the document is never uploaded.

Questions people ask

How does it decide a page is blank?

It measures how much actual content (ink) is on each page. Truly empty pages and near-empty scanner backs are flagged; you review the selection before removing anything so nothing important is lost.

Will it delete a page that just has a little text?

You stay in control — flagged pages are shown for review before removal, so a page with a single line or a faint stamp won't vanish without your say-so.

Why do scans have so many blank pages?

Duplex (double-sided) scanning captures the back of every sheet, so one-sided originals produce a blank page after each real one. This tool strips them automatically.
