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.
Frequently asked questions
- 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.
