Add a blank page to a PDF
Insert empty pages where you need them: a spacer before a new chapter, room for notes after every page, or one extra page so double-sided printing lines up.

How to add a blank page to a PDF
- Choose a PDF.
- Pick where the blank pages go, how many, and their size.
- Press Add blank pages and download.
Good to know
By default each blank page takes the size and orientation of the page next to it, so a landscape spread gets a landscape blank. You can also force A4 or US Letter.
Existing pages aren’t touched, so text, links and quality stay the same.
Why add blank pages?
- Double-sided printing. Chapters and sections should start on a right-hand page. Insert a blank after the page before a section to push it over.
- An even page count. When you print several PDFs double-sided as one job, a document with an odd number of pages makes the next one start on the back of its last sheet. Choose “Only if needed to make the page count even”.
- Room for notes. “After every page” interleaves blank pages, which is handy for handwritten notes on a tablet or printed lecture slides.
- Booklets. Booklet printing needs a page count that is a multiple of four; add blanks at the end to round it up.
Questions
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. PDF1 runs the whole job inside your browser tab with JavaScript and WebAssembly. The page has no upload endpoint, and its security policy blocks connections to other servers, so the file stays on your device. You can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.
Can I add a page with content instead of a blank one?
Yes: make that page into its own PDF (from an image with JPG to PDF, for example), then put the two files together with Merge PDF.
Can I remove blank pages instead?
Use Delete pages and click the empty pages in the preview.
