How to use Remove blank pages
Add your PDF
Drop a PDF onto the page. Every page is checked, and you can watch the progress as it goes.
Check the marked pages
Blank pages are outlined in red. Tap any page to keep it or to remove it as well, or change the sensitivity to find more or fewer pages.
Remove and download
Click Remove pages and save the new PDF. The pages you keep stay exactly as they were.
Why use Utils365
Made for scans
Scanner shadows, punch holes, staple marks and dust are ignored, so a page that only looks gray at the edges still counts as blank.
You have the final say
Nothing is removed until you’ve seen the thumbnails. Keep any marked page, or remove another one, with a single tap.
Nothing else changes
Kept pages keep their text, links and form fields, and the document title and author are carried over.
Your file stays with you
Everything happens in your browser, so your PDFs are never uploaded to a server.
Frequently asked questions
How does it decide a page is blank?
A page is blank when almost nothing is printed on it away from the edges, it has no text, and it has no form fields or comments. Faint marks lighter than normal print don’t count.
Which sensitivity should I use?
Normal suits most files and ignores dust and small specks. Use Strict to remove only pages with nothing on them at all, and Loose for scans where faint text shows through from the back of the sheet.
Why wasn’t a page that says “This page intentionally left blank” removed?
Pages with any text are always kept, so they’re never removed by mistake. Tap the page in the grid to mark it, and it will be removed too.
Can I remove pages that aren’t blank?
Yes. Tap any page to mark it for removal. To delete, reorder or rotate pages more freely, use Organize PDF.
Will the rest of my PDF change?
No. The other pages are copied as they are, with their text, links and form fields, so there’s no loss of quality. Bookmarks aren’t carried over.
Can it handle long scanned documents?
Yes. Pages are checked one at a time, so files with hundreds of pages work. Very large scans just take a little longer.
