Remove blank pages from a PDF
Blank pages creep into PDFs all the time — duplex scanners insert an empty back side, exported documents add a trailing sheet, and merged files carry separators. Removing them tidies the document so it prints without wasted sheets and reads without jarring gaps. Tell the tool which pages are blank by their numbers and it deletes exactly those, keeping every other page at full quality and closing the rest into a continuous file. It is worth flipping through the document first to note the blank page numbers, because a page that looks empty can still hold a faint header, a watermark or a stray mark that you may or may not want gone. Everything runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded and your original is preserved — you download a cleaner copy. For scans specifically, removing the empty duplex backs can noticeably cut the page count and the print cost of a long document.
Frequently asked questions
- Can it detect blank pages automatically?
- You specify the blank page numbers to remove. Skim the document first to note them — some 'blank' pages carry faint marks or headers.
- Why do my scans have blank pages?
- Duplex (double-sided) scanning adds an empty back side when an original page is one-sided. Removing those backs shrinks the file.
