Why crop PDFs in your browser

Trim margins and whitespace to tighten every page, with a live preview before you commit.

See the crop before you apply it

Drag each edge against a live page preview, so you know exactly what stays and what gets trimmed — no guesswork, no reopening the file.

Cut margins, keep your content

Slice off scanner whitespace or wide print margins so the text and figures fill the page and read better on screens.

One crop across every page

The edges you set are applied uniformly to all pages, giving you a consistent, evenly framed document in a single pass.

// Workflow

Where cropping fits your document work

For the moment a PDF arrives with too much empty border — a scan, an exported slide, a page meant for print you now read on screen.

  1. 1

    Upload the PDF you want to tidy up.

  2. 2

    Drag the top, right, bottom, and left edges in the live preview until only the content you want remains.

  3. 3

    Crop and download the trimmed PDF.

Crop PDF — FAQ

How do I crop a PDF?

Upload your PDF, then drag the top, right, bottom and left sliders to trim each edge. You'll see a live preview as you go, so just adjust until it looks right and click Crop & download.

Does it crop every page the same way?

Yes. The margins you set are applied uniformly to every page, so the whole document stays consistent. There's no per-page cropping in this tool.

Is the cropped-out content actually deleted?

No. Cropping changes the visible area (the crop box) — the trimmed parts are hidden, not erased. That means nothing is truly lost, but it also means someone could recover it. If you need the content gone for good, use a redaction tool instead.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your PDF never leaves your device and nothing is sent to a server.

Is there a file size limit?

There's no fixed limit. Because it all happens in your browser, the practical ceiling depends on your device's memory — very large files may get slow or run out of memory on weaker machines.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

It's completely free and there's no sign-up required. Just open the page and start cropping.

Don't take our word for it — verify it

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device — it isn't uploaded to any server.

Check for yourself: open your browser's developer tools (F12, or right-click → Inspect) → the Network tab → then run this tool. You won't see your file uploaded anywhere, because the work happens locally on your device.
