Frequently Asked Questions

How does blank page detection work?

The tool analyzes each page for content pixels. Pages that are entirely white (or nearly white, accounting for scanner noise) are flagged as blank.

What if a page has a small mark but should be removed?

Adjust the sensitivity threshold — a higher tolerance removes pages with minor scanner noise or artifacts.
