Crop PDF

Trim whitespace off the edges of every page. Useful for tightening scans or removing a printer margin.

Use Crop PDF (interactive) — JavaScript required for uploads.

How to use this tool

  1. Add your PDF
  2. Enter how much to trim from each edge, in points
  3. Run the tool and download

Points, not pixels

72 points is one inch, or 2.54 cm. So 36 trims half an inch. The same margins are applied to every page.

How it works

Runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded. Cropping changes the visible page box rather than re-rendering, so text stays sharp and selectable.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?

Yes, completely free and with no account.

Does cropping delete the content?

It hides it by shrinking the page box. To remove content permanently, rasterize the page instead.

Can I crop pages differently?

Not yet — the same trim applies to every page.

Runs in your browser

This tool works entirely on this page. Your file is opened by JavaScript here, changed in memory, and handed straight back to you — it is never uploaded. Open your browser's Network tab while you use it and you will see nothing leave your device.

Because there is no server doing the work, there is no signup, no watermark, no file size limit, and no daily cap. Nothing is stored, because nothing is received.
