The PDF Remove Blank Pages tool detects and removes blank pages locally in your browser. After uploading a PDF, you can set the page range, detection quality, ink threshold, grayscale threshold, and ignored margin, review the detected pages, then remove blank pages and download a new PDF.

Main Features

  • Upload one PDF file and read the total page count.
  • Detect all pages or only selected page ranges.
  • Choose fast, standard, or precise detection quality.
  • Tune blank page detection with ink ratio, grayscale threshold, and ignored margins.
  • Review page-level detection details for blank and kept pages.
  • Remove detected blank pages and export a new PDF.
  • Keep at least one page when all pages are detected as blank.

How to Use

  1. Choose a PDF from the upload area, or drag a PDF into it.
  2. Enter a page range if needed; leave it empty to scan all pages.
  3. Adjust detection quality, blank threshold, grayscale threshold, and ignored margin.
  4. Start detection and review the blank page and kept page counts.
  5. Remove blank pages and download the new PDF after confirming the result.

Page Range Format

Page ranges use the original PDF page numbers and support comma-separated values and ranges, such as 1,3-5,8. A reversed range such as 5-3 scans pages 5, 4, and 3. Pages outside the detection range are always kept.

Option Notes

  • Blank threshold: a page is blank when its ink ratio is less than or equal to this value.
  • Ink grayscale threshold: pixels below this grayscale value count as ink.
  • Ignored margin: page edges are ignored before detection to reduce scan border noise.
  • Detection quality: higher values are more detailed but slower.

Notes

  • Encrypted PDFs may need to be decrypted before processing.
  • Detection depends on browser rendering, so shadows, borders, headers, or footers can affect the result.
  • Files are processed in the browser, and the current file and result are not kept after refreshing the page.
