Example

Example: taking the blank backs out of a two-sided scan of a signed lease

A 7-page lease printed on one side is signed and scanned on an office copier left on two-sided: lease-signed.pdf has 14 pages, and every even page is the empty back of a sheet — except page 14, where the landlord wrote a short note about parking on the back of the last sheet.

  1. Drop the PDF: 14 thumbnails appear and the count reads “14 of 14 pages kept”.
  2. Press Find blank pages. A page where marks darker than paper cover less than 0.2% of it is switched off: pages 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. Page 14 has the handwriting and stays.
  3. The count reads “8 of 14 pages kept”. A back with faint show-through from the front may not count as blank: click it to remove it by hand, and click a crossed-out page to keep it.
  4. Press Save without removed pages; the kept pages stay in their order.

How it works

  1. Drop the PDF onto the box. Every page appears as a thumbnail.
  2. Click each page you want to delete. Removed pages are crossed out; click one again to keep it after all.
  3. Check the count at the top, which shows how many pages will be kept.
  4. Press Save without removed pages and download the new PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Can I delete many pages quickly?
Yes. Press Remove all, then click the few pages you want to keep. In a long scan that is often faster than clicking every page you want to delete.
Will the file get smaller?
Usually. The new PDF contains only the kept pages, so images and fonts used only by the removed pages are not included.
Can I delete pages without Adobe Acrobat?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser on Windows, Mac, a Chromebook or a phone, with nothing to install.
Is the original PDF changed?
No. You download a new file, and the original on your device stays as it was.
How do I remove blank pages from a scanned PDF?
Press Find blank pages. Every page is rendered small and checked: one where marks darker than paper cover less than 0.2% of it is switched off, so the slightly grey empty back a scanner produces still counts as blank. Those pages stay on screen crossed out for you to check before saving; if there are none, it says No blank pages found.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Thumbnails and the new file are made in your browser. The free plan allows 20 MB per file and 5 runs per day, and free PDFs end with a small “Made with nouplo.com” line.
