Drop a PDF and I'll check each page.
Scan Check
Check each page of a PDF: does it have a text layer, and is it blank? Export the report as CSV, and remove blank pages after a preview.
Good to know
- Blank is judged from a low-resolution render, so a faint mark or a speck-filled scan can be judged wrongly. Check the preview before you remove pages.
- Pages with no text layer are candidates for OCR PDF.
- A text layer can exist and still be poor. This checks only that one is there.
Your files stay on your machine
This tool runs entirely inside your browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent to a server — close the tab and every trace is gone.
These are the free ones — see the full suiteHow big a file can it take?
There is no upload, so there is no upload limit — but the work happens in this tab, which means your browser’s memory is the budget. Nothing here will refuse a file for being large; a big enough one simply gets slow and, eventually, reloads the tab. The figures below are rules of thumb on a desktop browser, not enforced caps. On a phone or tablet, expect a good deal less.
- A thumbnail is kept for every page from the moment the file opens, so page count binds: comfortable to about 500 pages, sluggish past 1,500.
- Checking renders each page once more to judge blankness, which sets the time. Those renders are measured and thrown away.
Password-protected PDFs are declined whatever their size — unlock the file first. If a run does die on a long document, splitting it into volumes and working through them one at a time is the reliable way round it.
