What is a Blank Page in PDF?

A blank page in PDF is an empty, unmarked page inserted into a document for various purposes. Unlike text pages, blank pages contain no content but maintain the same page dimensions and formatting as your original document.

Why add blank pages to PDFs?

  • Document Organization: Create separators between sections or chapters
  • Note-taking: Provide space for handwritten notes during meetings or reviews
  • Print Requirements: Ensure documents start on right-hand pages for double-sided printing
  • Format Fixing: Correct layout issues or spacing problems
  • Presentation: Add pauses between slides or sections
  • Contractual Use: Create space for additional signatures or amendments

Key Features

  • ✓ Preserves original page size
  • ✓ Matches document orientation
  • ✓ No watermarks added
  • ✓ Unlimited blank pages
  • ✓ 100% free forever
