Trim white margins or crop each page exactly how you want. Everything runs in your browser, so cropping is free, instant, and your file never leaves your device.

  • Auto-trim white margins in one click

    "Auto trimming" finds the white border on a page and snaps the crop frame tight around your content, so you do not have to line anything up by hand.

  • Crop each page on its own

    Give every page its own crop frame, or copy one crop onto a range of pages with "Apply to others". Uneven scans and mixed layouts both work.

  • See the finished page as you crop

    The area outside your crop frame dims on every page, so the live preview is the finished document. No trial exports, no guesswork.

  • Set exact margins in cm or inches

    Type precise crop values and switch the unit between percent, centimeters, and inches, useful when a page has to meet a fixed print size.

  • Your file never leaves your device

    Cropping runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or scanned, and you can confirm it in your browser's network tab.

  • No quality loss

    Cropping only changes each page's boundaries. Text and images are never re-compressed, so your PDF stays as sharp as the original.

How to crop a PDF

  1. Add your PDF

    Drop your PDF into the box or pick it from your device. It opens straight away in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so even large files are ready in a moment.

  2. Draw the crop area

    Drag the crop frame on a page to keep only the part you want. Everything outside the frame dims, so you see the finished page as you adjust it.

  3. Trim margins or crop every page

    Click "Auto trimming" to cut white margins in one step, or use "Apply to others" to copy one crop across a range of pages. Type exact margins in centimeters or inches when you need a precise size.

  4. Download your cropped PDF

    Check the live preview, then download the finished file. No account, no watermark, and no quality loss.

Frequently asked questions

When to crop a PDF

Remove margins for e-readers

Scanned books and PDFs built for A4 often carry wide white borders that waste screen space on a Kindle or tablet. Crop the margins so the text fills the display and stays readable at a comfortable size.

Clean up scans

A scanner often leaves a gray edge, a sliver of the next page, or a crooked border. Crop each page to keep only the document itself before you share or file it.

Fit slides or plans for print

Presentation exports and technical drawings sometimes carry extra whitespace or a header you do not want on paper. Crop to the exact area, in centimeters or inches, so the page prints the way you need.
