Questions about Remove Blank Pages

Is Remove Blank Pages free?

Yes. Remove Blank Pages on Wispdf is free and unlimited, and no account is needed. It runs on your device, so there are no daily limits and no cap on how many files you clean up. The practical limit is your device's memory, comfortably around 1 GB of PDFs on a computer and less on a phone.

Is my scanned PDF uploaded?

No. Remove Blank Pages works in your browser, on your device, and your PDF is never sent to our servers. Scans often hold bank statements, IDs and signed papers, so it helps to know the file stays with you. There is nothing for us to store, and nothing to delete afterward.

How does Wispdf decide a page is blank?

Remove Blank Pages looks for pages with almost no ink. That catches perfectly white pages and the near-empty backs of double-sided scans, which often carry a faint mark or two. Because a light page could still matter, Wispdf shows you what it found and removes pages only after you check.

Will it remove a page that only has a little writing on it?

It could flag one, which is why you check first. A page with a single signature or a short note has very little ink, so Remove Blank Pages may list it alongside the truly empty ones. Look over the flagged pages before you remove anything, and keep any page that matters. Pages you keep are left exactly as they were.

Can I remove blank pages on my phone?

Yes. Remove Blank Pages works in any modern browser on iPhone, iPad, Android, Chromebook, Windows, Mac and Linux. There is no app to install. If you scanned the papers with your phone, you can clean up the PDF right there and save it, without moving the file to a computer first.

What if I want to delete pages that are not blank?

Use Delete PDF Pages for that. It shows your PDF as thumbnails, you select the pages you do not want, and it removes them. Like Remove Blank Pages, it is free and runs on your device. To pull a few pages out into a new file instead, use Extract PDF Pages.
