Remove Blank Pages
Detect and delete empty pages automatically — ideal for scanned documents.
About this tool
Remove Blank Pages scans every page and deletes the ones that are empty. Each page is rendered small and the share of non-white pixels is measured; pages below your threshold are removed. A 3% border is ignored so scanner edges and punch holes don't count.
Raise the threshold or lower the white level for noisy scans with specks of dust; keep “Pages with text are never blank” on to protect pages that contain even a little real text.
The report lists the ink coverage of every page and which ones were removed, so you can check the result. Processing happens in your browser.
