Common questions
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The PDF is opened, measured and cropped by your browser on your own device. It is never sent to us or to anyone else, and nothing is stored.
How do I remove the white margins from a PDF?
Drop the PDF in and leave Trim the white margins selected. The tool finds the content on every page and crops to it, leaving the few millimetres you set. Press Crop PDF and download the result.
Does cropping remove the cropped-off part?
No. It changes which part of each page readers show and printers print; the rest stays inside the file and another program can bring it back. Use it to tidy a document, not to hide anything.
Does it reduce the quality or change the text?
No. Pages are cropped, not redrawn or recompressed. Text stays sharp and searchable, and links, bookmarks and form fields keep working.
Can I crop only some pages?
Yes. Choose Draw the crop myself, drag the box, then choose All pages, Odd pages, Even pages or Only the page shown. Use the page arrows to check the box on other pages.
Why did a page come out a different size from the others?
With Same crop on every page turned off, each page is cropped to its own content, so pages with different content get different sizes. Turn it on and every page gets one box that holds all of them.
Can I crop a PDF for a Kindle or an e-reader?
Yes, that is the usual reason. Trim the white margins with Same crop on every page on, so the text fills the small screen and every page keeps the same shape.
Can I crop a password-protected PDF?
Not until the password protection is removed. The tool tells you if the file is protected.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit.
Nothing happens when I pick a file
The tool runs entirely in your browser, so a very old browser can fail silently. Try the current Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. Your files are never uploaded anywhere.
