What is removing blank pages?

Scanners and copiers often insert empty pages — the back of a single-sided sheet, separator pages, or near-white pages with only specks. This tool finds those pages and deletes them, leaving a cleaner document that is smaller and nicer to read or print.

How blank detection works

We render each page with pdf.js and measure how much actual content it contains. Pages below your chosen threshold are treated as blank and dropped; a new PDF is built from the rest with pdf-lib. A sensitivity control lets you decide how faint a page must be to count as empty, so light scan noise does not save a truly blank page.

When to remove blank pages

Clean up a double-sided scan where every other page is empty, trim separator sheets from a batch scan, or shrink a document before emailing. It saves paper when printing and makes long scanned files much easier to flip through.

Why do it here

Deleting blank pages by hand means hunting through the whole document; desktop editors that automate it cost money. This tool detects and removes them automatically, free, with no upload — every page is analyzed in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
