Remove Blank Pages from PDF
Duplex-scanning single-sided documents leaves a trail of blank pages, and deleting them one by one is tedious. Each page is rendered locally and its ink coverage measured — blanks are removed automatically, with three adjustable sensitivity levels. Your file is never uploaded.

How it works (3 steps)
Upload a PDF
Duplex scans and merged files with stray empty pages are the typical cases.
Page-by-page detection
Each page is rendered locally and its ink-pixel ratio computed; pages below the threshold count as blank. Three sensitivity levels.
Download the cleaned file
You get _noblank.pdf and the success card shows removed/kept counts — do a quick page-count check.

FAQ
Could it delete pages that have content?
Detection uses rendered pixels, not the text layer — page numbers, stamps and other small content count as ink and are kept. If unsure, use the conservative level (only truly empty pages) and verify the page count after download.
Try it ↑Can it drop scanned pages with smudges?
The standard level tolerates light noise; for visibly smudged pages use the aggressive level, or delete specific pages manually with the page organizer.
Try it ↑How is this different from deleting pages manually?
Manual deletion means hunting down page numbers yourself; this tool detects blanks automatically — a 60-page scan is cleaned in one click. For precise control use the Rotate / Delete / Reorder tool.
Try it ↑Does a digital signature survive processing?
No. Any change to a signed PDF (merging, compressing, watermarking…) invalidates the existing digital signature — that is the tamper-proof design of PDF signatures, not a limit of this site. Process first, then sign.
Try it ↑Can I trust the processing engine?
Yes — and you can verify it: the tool runs on open-source in-browser engines (pdf-lib, pdf.js, Tesseract OCR…) on your own device. Open DevTools → Network while processing and you will see no file upload requests.
