Why use Remove Blank Pages on PDF NOVA
Files stay on your device
Processing happens in your browser. Your document is never uploaded to a server, so there is nothing to delete afterwards.
Adjustable sensitivity
Pages with only scanner noise, faint bleed-through or a stray mark can still be detected by tuning the ink threshold.
You stay in control
Detected pages are shown for review first, so nothing important is removed by mistake.
Processing on your device
Remove Blank Pages processes your file in your browser on your device. The file is not uploaded for processing. Download the result to keep a permanent copy. Your active PDF is saved locally in this browser for recovery across refreshes. Close Document removes it; recovery expires after 24 hours and is cleaned up when PDF NOVA next opens. Unsaved changes are not restored.

Each page is rendered at low resolution in your browser and the share of non-white pixels is measured. Pages below the threshold you set are marked as blank.
