How does it decide a page is blank?

It analyzes each page's content for meaningful ink coverage — pages with only stray marks, scanner noise or nothing at all are flagged as blank.

Could it accidentally remove a page with very little content, like one with just a page number?

It's tuned for genuinely blank pages, but always review the result afterward if a document has pages you know are meant to be sparse.

Does it work on PDFs that aren't scans?

Yes, it checks every page regardless of source, though blank pages are far more common in scanned documents than natively-created PDFs.

Does PDF Blank Page Remover upload my files to a server?

No. PDF Blank Page Remover runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

Scanning a stack of paper on a flatbed or feeder scanner often produces stray blank pages — the back of a one-sided sheet, a separator page, a scanner hiccup — mixed in with the real content. This tool scans through a PDF, automatically detects pages that are effectively blank, and removes them, cleaning up a scanned document without you having to page through it manually to find and delete each one.
