What this tool does
The browser checks selectable text and a low-resolution page rendering. Sensitivity controls how much faint content may still be considered blank. Always review the result before deleting the original.
Privacy note: selected files are handled by JavaScript running on your device. The application does not intentionally transfer document contents to a BQ server. Browser extensions, managed-device policies, and the browser itself remain outside the site’s control.
Compatibility note: PDF is a complex format. Very large, encrypted, malformed, digitally signed, or unusually constructed files may not process correctly. Keep the original document until you have checked the result.
Frequently asked questions
Can detection remove a page with faint content?
Yes, especially in aggressive mode. Use Strict or Normal and review the result carefully.
Does the tool use OCR?
No. It checks existing text and rendered pixels; it does not recognize words inside scans.
What happens if every page appears blank?
The tool refuses to create an empty PDF and keeps the original unchanged.
