How to add a blank page to a PDF

  1. Drop a PDF onto the box or click "Choose PDF". The page count is shown.
  2. Choose where the blank pages go and how many to add. By default they match the size of the page next to them.
  3. Click "Add blank pages". The new PDF downloads straight away.

Common reasons to insert blank pages

Double-sided printing: when you print several documents back to back, a document with an odd number of pages makes the next one start on the back of its last sheet. "Make the page count even" adds one page only when needed. Booklets and books: insert a blank page before a chapter so it starts on a right-hand page. Notes and handouts: "After every page" interleaves a blank page after each slide or page for handwritten notes.

Blank pages match the size and orientation of the page beside them, so a landscape slide deck gets landscape blanks. You can also choose a fixed size such as US Letter or A4. Existing pages are copied unchanged.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. Your PDF is opened and processed by JavaScript in this browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server and no copy is kept.

Can I add a blank page in the middle of a PDF?

Yes. Choose "After page…" or "Before page…" and type the page number.

What size will the blank page be?

By default the same size and orientation as the page next to it. You can choose US Letter, A4 or Legal instead.

Can I add several blank pages at once?

Yes, up to 50 at a time in one position, or one or more after every page.

Will the blank pages print?

Yes. They are real, empty pages, so printers include them, which is exactly what keeps double-sided printing aligned.
