About Crop PDF
Crop PDF trims a uniform margin off every page of a PDF, so you can cut away wide white borders and tighten the layout. It is useful for scans that came out with a lot of empty space around the text, or for reading a document on a small screen or e-reader where large margins waste room. You set how much to trim, and the same amount is taken off all four sides of every page at once.
The tool works entirely in your browser using pdf-lib, so the PDF is processed on your own device and never uploaded to a server. It is free, needs no account, has no usage limits, and adds no watermark. There is nothing to install — a normal browser is enough.
Frequently asked questions
- Is it free, and do I need to sign up?
- Yes, it is free, with no account and no sign-up. You can crop as many PDFs as you like, with no usage limits and no watermark.
- Is the PDF sent to a server?
- No. Cropping runs in your browser with pdf-lib, so the file stays on your own device the whole time. Nothing is uploaded.
- How does the cropping work?
- You choose how much margin to trim, and the tool applies that same amount to every page in the file. It then saves a new PDF with the tighter page size.
- Can I crop each page by a different amount?
- No. This tool trims a single, uniform margin across all pages, which keeps a scanned or multi-page document looking consistent. It is built for one even trim rather than page-by-page adjustments.
- Does cropping delete the hidden content?
- Cropping changes the page's visible boundary, so the trimmed edges no longer show. The content in that margin may still exist inside the file rather than being erased, so do not rely on it to hide sensitive text near the edges.
