A PDF cropper with nothing to upload · v2.0

Trim the margins, keep the page.

Drag a box over the part of the page you want, or type exact margins. Apply it to one page, a range, or the whole document — all inside your browser, with text kept sharp and selectable.

How it works

01

Drop your PDF

It opens directly in the page using your browser's own PDF engine — no network request involved.

02

Choose what to keep

Drag the box, type exact margins, or let auto-trim find the edges of your content. Then pick which pages it applies to.

03

Download the result

The page boundaries are rewritten on your device, so text and images stay vector-sharp. Save it like any other file.

Why crop locally

Nothing to intercept

Contracts, ID scans, medical records — they stay on your machine instead of passing through a third party's server.

No quality loss

Pages are not redrawn as images. The crop only changes the visible area, so fonts, links and selectable text survive.

Works without a connection

Once this page is loaded, cropping a file doesn't need the network again.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is opened and cropped entirely in your browser's memory. Nothing is sent to a server, and there is no account or sign-up.

Does cropping reduce quality or remove text selection?

No. The tool changes each page's visible boundaries rather than turning pages into pictures, so text stays selectable and graphics stay sharp.

Is the cropped-away content deleted?

By default it is hidden, not erased, and some PDF editors can reveal it. If the content must be gone for good, tick "Permanently remove hidden content": cropped pages are rebuilt as images of the kept area only. Text on those pages is then no longer selectable.

Why is the file not smaller after cropping?

Because the hidden content is kept, file size usually stays about the same. If you need a smaller file, run the result through the Compress PDF tool.

How do I crop only some pages, or use a different box per page?

Under "Apply crop to", choose This page only, a Page range such as 1-3, 5, 8-10, or Odd / Even pages (handy for scanned books). Choose "Each page its own box" to give every page you edit its own crop; pages you never touch stay as they are, and the thumbnail strip marks the ones you changed.

Can I lock the shape, undo mistakes or use the keyboard?

Yes. Pick an aspect ratio such as A4, Letter, 1:1 or 16:9 to lock the box shape, and switch between mm, inches and points. Undo and Redo work with Ctrl/Cmd+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z. Click the page, then use the arrow keys to nudge the box, Alt+arrows to resize it, and Shift for bigger steps.

What happens with pages of different sizes or rotations?

The box is applied proportionally, so a 5% margin on a small page stays 5% on a large one. Rotated pages are handled correctly. For mixed-size files, crop in groups using a page range.

What does Auto-trim whitespace do?

It scans the page you are viewing, finds the outer edge of anything that isn't white, and places the box there with a small safety margin. You can still adjust it by hand.

Are there file size limits, and can I undo?

There is no upload limit; very large files are limited only by your device's memory. Your original file is never modified — if you don't like a result, adjust the box and crop again.
