Crop PDF

Cut away wide margins, scanner borders or white space. Set the margins yourself or let the tool find the content on each page, and preview the crop on every page.

What you get

  • Set top, bottom, left and right margins in mm
  • Automatic trim of white space on each page
  • Crop all pages or only the ones you pick
  • Live preview shows what will be removed
  • Works with rotated and landscape pages

Tips

Reading on a phone or e-reader

Trim white space so the text fills the screen and is easier to read.

Scans with dark edges

Use Set margins to cut off the dark scanner border on every page at once.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Your files are opened and processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, so it is safe for private documents and works even on slow connections.

Is it free? Are there limits?

Yes, it is free with no sign-up and no watermark. The only limit is your device memory, so very large files (hundreds of MB) may be slow.

Is the cropped part deleted?

The page size is changed, so the cropped area is no longer shown or printed in any viewer. The hidden content can still exist inside the file, so do not use cropping to remove sensitive information.

Does it work with password-protected PDFs?

Not directly. If you know the password, remove it first with our free Unlock PDF tool, then use the unlocked copy here.
