Remove blank pages from a PDF
Remove Blank Pages looks at every page of your PDF and deletes the empty ones. It's made for double-sided scans where half the backs are blank, for documents with separator sheets, and for exports that end with a stray empty page.
The original file is not changed: you get a new PDF without the empty pages. Pages are compared as images, so the check works the same for scans and for digital documents, in any language. Hundreds of pages are checked in a minute or two on a normal laptop, a little longer on a phone.
Scanned "blank" pages are rarely perfectly white: there is dust, a faint line or show-through from the other side. The sensitivity setting decides how strict the check is — Low removes only completely empty pages, Normal is right for most scans, and High also removes pages with faint marks and scanner noise. The result tells you exactly which pages were taken out.
The check runs in your browser: your document is never uploaded, and the pages you keep are not changed.

Questions and answers
Will it remove pages with very little text?
On Normal, a page with a few words is kept. If a nearly empty page you need was removed, use the Low setting.
How do I know which pages were removed?
The result lists the page numbers it took out and how many pages were removed in total.
What if every page looks blank?
The tool stops and asks you to try a lower sensitivity instead of giving you an empty file.
Is my file uploaded?
No. All the checking is done on your device.
Can it also remove duplicate pages?
Use Remove Duplicate Pages for pages scanned twice.
