How to add a blank page to a PDF

This tool puts one empty page into your PDF. In the After page box, type the page number the blank page should follow. Type 1 to add it after page 1, type 5 to add it after page 5, or type 0 to add it at the very start. The blank page is the same size as the page next to it, so it fits in with the rest. All your other pages stay as they are, in the same order. The new file downloads as with-blank.pdf. To add more than one blank page, run the new file through again.

Your file stays on your device. Adding a blank page happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded to our servers or anyone else's. To check, open your browser's network panel, add a file, and watch for uploads. You will not see one. The new PDF downloads as with-blank.pdf. When you close the tab, the copy in your browser is gone.

This tool is free. There is no account, no daily limit, and no watermark on the file you download. The number can be 0 up to the last page of your PDF. Very large files depend on your device's memory, so a big scan may be slow on a phone.

If you see a message asking for a page that exists, type a number from 0 up to the number of pages in your file. If your PDF will not open, it may be password-protected. Unlock it first with Unlock PDF, then try again. To put a blank page after every Nth page, use the blank-page-every-N tool. To swap a page for a blank one, use the replace-with-blank tool. To reorder pages, use Organize PDF.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose your file. It never leaves your device.
  2. Pick a setting, if the page has one.
  3. Download your new file.

Common questions

How do I insert a blank page at the start of a PDF?

Type 0 in the After page box. The blank page goes in front of page 1. For any other spot, type the number of the page it should follow.

Is my PDF uploaded when I add a blank page?

No. Your file stays on your device and is never uploaded. You get one new file named with-blank.pdf, and your original is left untouched.

What size is the blank page?

It matches the page next to it, so a letter-size page gets a letter-size blank and an A4 page gets an A4 blank. At the very start, it matches the first page.

Is it free to add a blank page?

Yes, it's free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark.
