Frequently asked
How does it decide a page is blank?+
A page is blank when it has no text and almost no ink, measured on your device. The outer edge is ignored, since scanners leave shadows there. Normal allows a few specks of dust; choose Perfectly empty or Allow specks and smudges to adjust.
Will it delete pages I want to keep?+
Nothing is deleted until you press Remove. Every page is shown, blank ones already selected, so you can untick any that should stay, such as a nearly empty page with just a signature.
Does it work on PDFs that are not scans?+
Yes. Any page with text on it is kept automatically; truly empty pages are found the same way.
Is my file uploaded?+
No. The pages are checked inside your browser.
Is Remove blank pages free to use?+
Yes. Remove blank pages is free and unlimited, with no account and no watermark added to your document.
Are my files uploaded to a server?+
No. Remove blank pages runs entirely inside your browser, so the document never leaves your device.
Which browsers does it work in?+
Any current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, on desktop, tablet and phone.
