Double-sided scanning of single-sided documents produces a blank page after every real one, and empty separator sheets end up in the file too. This tool renders each page, measures how much of it is actually ink, and removes the pages that are empty — with a tolerance for the grey noise and specks scanners leave behind.

Choose a sensitivity level, review the list of removed page numbers, and download. Detection runs on your device.
