How to Remove Blank Pages from a Scanned PDF

Learn how to remove blank backs, separator sheets, and unwanted scan pages from a scanned PDF while reviewing every page before export.

When this happens

Duplex scanners often capture blank backs. Batch scans can also include separator sheets or duplicate pages that should not appear in the final document.

Use PDFresh

Open Clean Scanned PDF, choose one PDF, review the thumbnails, run blank-page suggestions if needed, delete the pages you do not want, and export a cleaned copy.

Review suggestions

Blank-page detection is only a suggestion. A page that looks blank may still contain faint stamps, page numbers, signatures, pencil marks, or scanning noise, so review candidates before removing them.

Limitations

PDFresh does not perform OCR, deskew tilted scans, redact text, or repair corrupted PDFs.
