How do I remove blank pages from a PDF?

Drop your PDF onto the tool. The thumbnail grid renders every page so empty ones stand out clearly. Click each blank page to mark it for deletion, then click Download.

Why do scanned PDFs end up with blank pages?

Document scanners often add extra blank pages, especially in duplex mode when one side of a sheet has no content. Removing them tidies up the file before sharing or printing.

Will images and text on the kept pages be preserved?

Yes. The remaining pages are copied to a new PDF with their original content intact. There is no re-encoding, so quality is unchanged.

Can I mark multiple blanks at once?

Yes. Click each blank thumbnail to add it to the deletion list, or type a page range like 3, 7, 12 to mark several at once. Marks can be combined or removed before downloading.

Is my PDF processed in the browser?

All page removal is done locally with pdf-lib. All processing runs in your browser. Our servers are not involved at any point.

How it works

This tool uses pdf-lib, a pure JavaScript PDF library that runs entirely in your browser. Thumbnails are rendered with pdfjs-dist so you can see every page. When you download, pdf-lib creates a new document, copies only the pages you kept (using copyPages with the indexes that were not marked for deletion), and saves it as a fresh PDF.

Processing runs in your browser

All page removal happens locally in your browser tab. pdf-lib rebuilds the document in memory and the resulting file is downloaded directly to your device. Our servers are not involved at any point.
