What it does
Scanned pages often carry wide white borders that waste screen space and paper. Set a margin for each side in points and crop every page to the visible area without re-encoding the content.
Trim white margins from every page by setting precise crop margins.
How to use it
Here is the short version of using Crop PDF Margins.
- Open the PDF — Preview the pages and estimate how much border you want to remove.
- Set the margins — Top, right, bottom and left are independent. 72 points equals one inch.
- Crop and download — The crop box is updated on every page; the content outside it is hidden.
Features that matter
What Crop PDF Margins does well.
- Nothing leaves your device — The work happens in your browser tab. There is no upload endpoint in this app, so your files and text cannot be stored, logged or seen by us.
- No upload wait — You skip the round trip to a server entirely. Results are limited by your own CPU, not by network speed or queue size.
- Free, no account, no quotas — No sign-up wall, no watermark, no daily limit. Optional accounts only exist to save favourites and presets across devices.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF safe to use here?
Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you paste or open is sent to a server, and the page keeps no copy after you close it.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Every tool is fully usable without signing in. An account only adds saved favourites and reusable presets.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The interface is mobile-first with large touch targets and a stacked layout, so it works on phones and tablets as well as desktops.
Does cropping delete the hidden content?
No. Cropping changes the visible page area; the original objects remain in the file. If you need the content physically removed, use a redaction or rasterisation workflow.
Why is my page still the same size?
Some printers and viewers ignore the crop box by default. The file itself is cropped; choose “fit to printable area” when printing if the border returns.
