Is the blank PDF really empty?+
Yes. A white page has no content at all: no text, no border, no page number, no logo and no watermark. Only the file title in its properties says Blank PDF.
Is it free? Do I need an account?+
It is free and needs no account. There is no limit on how many files you download.
Is anything uploaded to a server?+
No. The generator builds the file in your browser, so nothing is sent anywhere. The three ready files at the top are ordinary PDF files on this site.
Which size should I pick, Letter or A4?+
Letter is the standard paper in the US and Canada. A4 is the standard almost everywhere else. If the file is for printing, pick the paper that is in your printer.
How many pages can a blank PDF have?+
The generator makes from 1 to 500 pages in one file. Even 500 pages take well under 100 KB, because empty pages hold almost no data.
Can I write or type on the blank PDF?+
Yes. Open it in any PDF editor or note app, such as Adobe Acrobat, Preview on a Mac, GoodNotes or Notability. You can also print it and write by hand.
