    How to use Remove Blank Pages from PDF

    1. Choose the PDF and run Analyze to list possible blank pages.
    2. Open the original document and check every proposed page, including faint text or small marks.
    3. Choose Remove reviewed pages and enter the flagged page numbers you want to remove.
    4. Download the new copy and confirm the remaining pages are in the correct order.

    You get

    ReviewCheck the modified copy before sharing
    One unencrypted PDF up to 100 MiB and 100 pages. Analysis renders each page at no more than 180 pixels on its longest side. A candidate has at most 0.05% pixels below the near-white threshold of 245. This can miss small or faint content. Removal rechecks and accepts only explicitly selected flagged pages, retaining at least one page. Rebuilding pages can drop forms, bookmarks or other document-level features and invalidate signatures.

    A visual estimate needs a human check

    The analysis samples each page at a bounded size. It counts pixels that differ from near-white rather than understanding text or a scan's meaning. Tiny content can disappear at that size, which is why the removal selection remains separate from the candidate report.

    Questions about Remove Blank Pages from PDF

    Does a flagged page contain nothing?

    Not necessarily. The estimate measures a small rendered view, so faint text, small marks or content outside the visible crop may be missed. Review the original page before removal.

    Can the tool remove pages without my selection?

    Analyze only reports candidates. Removal needs an explicit page selection and checks those candidates again before creating another file.

    Why is a noisy scan not flagged?

    Dust, paper texture, shadows or scanner marks can exceed the near-white threshold even when you consider the page blank. This estimate is deliberately narrower than semantic blank-page detection.

    Can I remove every page?

    The output must retain at least one page. If all pages are unwanted, keep the original separately and decide whether you need a PDF output at all.
