Marked blanks, confirmed here
Delete blank pages from a scanned PDF
ADF scanners love to keep the empty back of a sheet. This page marks pages that look blank, shows every thumbnail, and waits for you to confirm before those pages come out. The preview stays on your machine.

They stay on your computer. Nothing is uploaded.
When to use this
Use this after a duplex scan that kept empty backs, or a packet with a leftover blank sheet in the middle. Thumbnails render in this browser, and pages that look empty start marked.
Nothing is removed until you confirm. Clear a mark if a light logo should stay, or mark a page the detector missed. You download a copy. The original on disk stays put.
If you already know the range to keep, Extract pages is faster. For reorder and rotate, use Organize PDF.
How to do it
- Drop the scanned PDF. Thumbnails draw locally, one page at a time.
- Review the pages marked Blank. Click a page to keep it, or to mark one that should go.
- Remove the marked pages. At least one page has to stay.
- Download the cleaned copy. The file you dropped is unchanged.
Tips
- A pale watermark or a light logo can be marked blank. Click it if it should stay.
- Very long documents render thumbs sequentially so the tab does not freeze.
- Number pages after blanks are gone, or the folios will skip.
Questions
Are blank pages removed before I look?
No. Pages that look empty start marked on the thumbnails. You clear a mark or add one, then remove.
Are the page thumbnails uploaded?
No. PDF.js draws small previews in this browser. They are never sent to LoveThisPDF.
Will this change the file on disk immediately?
No. You download a new PDF. Replace the original yourself if that is what you want.
