Remove Blank Pages from a PDF
Scanners and exports love to sprinkle empty pages through a document — separator sheets, backs of single-sided scans, padding from booklet jobs. This tool finds them for you: every page is analyzed for text, vector drawings, and embedded images, and only pages containing literally nothing are deleted. Pages with a single faint scan artifact or image stay untouched. If every page would be blank, the tool refuses rather than destroying your document. Analysis runs entirely on your device, so nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
How does the tool decide a page is blank?
A page is blank only when it has no text and no painting operations at all — no filled or stroked shapes, no images, no form content. Anything visible keeps the page.
What if every page in my PDF is blank?
The tool stops with an error instead of handing you an empty file, so a document can never be wiped out by accident.
Is my document sent anywhere for analysis?
No. Page analysis runs locally in your browser using a JavaScript PDF engine — the file stays on your device the whole time.
