Frequently asked questions
How do I crop a PDF?
Drop your PDF, drag the frame on the page or type the margins, then select Crop and Download.
Is the cut part deleted?
No. Cropping sets the visible area of the page. The content outside it is hidden in every reader and stays in the file.
What does Auto do?
It looks at each page as it is drawn and keeps the area that holds content, so pages with different margins are each trimmed to their own content.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The files stay in your browser and never leave your device.

Is it free?
Yes. No account, no usage limits, and no watermark.
Technical details
Processing
The crop is written as each page's CropBox in a background worker in your browser. Trim, bleed and art boxes are kept inside the new crop.
Auto
Auto draws each page at 72 dpi and keeps the area whose pixels are not paper white. A page with a font the browser cannot draw is left as it is.

What stays
Text, links, bookmarks and form fields stay as they were. The page count does not change, and at least half an inch of every page is kept.
