TabularRemove Blank Pages from PDF Online
Automatically detect and remove blank or near-blank pages from your PDFs. Set the minimum text threshold for what counts as blank.
1. Upload images
Drop images here or click to browse
JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, AVIF — up to 10 files, 25 MB total
2. Configure settings
Pages with fewer than this many text characters are treated as blank and removed. Default 10. Note: pages containing only images (no text) are also removed.
Free plan: up to 10 images per batch. Upgrade for more.
What this tool does
Papiral scans each page of your PDF for text content. Pages with fewer characters than your chosen threshold are treated as blank and removed from the output. This is ideal for cleaning up scanned documents, removing separator pages, or trimming empty pages inserted by scanners.
Problems it solves
- Removing blank separator pages from scanned document batches
- Cleaning up PDFs exported from word processors with trailing blank pages
- Trimming empty pages inserted by scanners or fax software
- Reducing file size by eliminating unnecessary blank pages
Example
Remove blank pages from 30 scanned intake forms
Frequently asked questions
Will pages with only images be removed?
Yes — blank detection is text-only. Pages that contain images but no text characters will be treated as blank if the text threshold is not met.
What threshold should I use?
The default of 10 characters works well for most cases. Raise it to remove pages with very little text (e.g. just a page number). Lower it to 0 to only remove completely empty pages.
