Remove Blank Pages
Scanned stacks often come back peppered with blank pages — separator sheets between jobs, empty backsides, or feeder hiccups. Checking every page by hand is tedious. This tool samples each page for visible content, flags the ones that are effectively empty, and rebuilds the document without them. Detection is deliberately conservative: a page keeps even a small amount of text, a stamp, or faint scanner noise, so real content is never dropped. If nothing looks blank, the tool tells you instead of returning a pointless copy. Everything runs on your device — scanned documents are never uploaded.
How to use Remove Blank Pages
Add your scanned PDF
Click the file picker and select the document that may contain blank pages.
Run the detection
Click Remove Blank Pages — every page is sampled for visible content and empty ones are dropped.
Download the cleaned file
Save the new PDF containing only the pages with content.
Tips for best results
- Compare the cleaned document’s page count with your original to confirm only blanks were removed.
- Detection works best on clean scans; heavily noised scans may retain faint ghost pages.
- Remove blank pages before splitting or extracting so page numbers stay predictable.
Frequently asked questions
How does the blank-page detection work?
Each page is rendered at a low resolution and sampled for visible ink. Pages with essentially no content are removed, while pages containing even a small amount of text, a stamp, or scanner noise are kept.
What happens if every page looks blank?
The tool refuses to empty the document and shows an error instead. If that happens, the pages are probably extremely faint scans — try a dedicated enhancer or scanner software first.
