How to add a blank page after every Nth page of a PDF

Type a whole number in the After every N pages box. The tool puts one blank page after page N, after page 2N, after page 3N, and so on. Type 1 to add a blank page after every page. Type 2 for one after every second page. It is handy for note-taking printouts, for separator sheets between sections, or for double-sided printing where each page needs a blank back. Each blank page is the same size as the page before it. Your own pages stay in order. The new file downloads as with-blanks.pdf.

Your file stays on your device. Adding blank pages 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-blanks.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 has to be a whole number of 1 or more. Very large files depend on your device's memory, so a big scan may be slow on a phone.

If you see a message about the number, type a whole number of 1 or more. A number larger than your page count adds nothing. If your PDF will not open, it may be password-protected. Unlock it first with Unlock PDF, then try again. To add just one blank page in a chosen spot, use the add-blank-page tool. To cut a long file into parts, use Split 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 add a blank page after every page in a PDF?

Type 1. A blank page is added after every page of your PDF. A 3-page file becomes 6 pages. Type 2 and a blank page goes after every second page.

Is my PDF uploaded when I add blank pages?

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

What size are the blank pages?

Each blank page matches the page right before it, so a mixed-size PDF gets blank pages in matching sizes.

Is it free to add blank pages?
