I kept dealing with messy PDFs… so I built a way to remove blank pages instantly

While working on PDF tools, I kept running into a small but frustrating problem…

Every time I converted or merged documents, random blank pages would show up.
Not a big deal at first, but when you're handling large files, it quickly becomes annoying.

I tried a few existing solutions:

Some required downloads
Some were slow
Some messed up formatting

So I decided to build a simple browser-based solution to fix this.

👉 The idea was straightforward:
Upload a PDF → detect blank pages → remove them → download a clean file

No installs, no complexity.

💡 What I focused on:
Keeping the UI simple (no learning curve)
Fast processing (even for large PDFs)
Preserving formatting and quality
Making it fully browser-based
🚀 Current version:

It can detect and remove blank pages pretty accurately, even in most scanned documents (though faint marks can still be tricky sometimes).

If anyone wants to try it, here’s the page:

🤔 Would love feedback on:
Is this something you'd actually use regularly?
Any edge cases I should handle better?
UI/UX improvements?

Also curious—how are you currently handling messy PDFs in your workflow?

This kind of issue felt small, but fixing it saved me a surprising amount of time.
