Is this crop PDF tool free?
Yes. Cropping PDF pages and trimming margins is free, with no account or watermark.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool crops PDFs entirely in your browser, so the file stays on your device and is never uploaded to a server.
Does manual crop rasterize every page?
No. The manual crop path is built around PDF page boxes where possible, so the exported file stays a real PDF with selectable text.
Can I apply the same crop to every page?
Yes. The tool supports both current-page and all-pages apply modes, so you can crop one page or the whole document at once.
Can it remove wide scan margins automatically?
Yes. An auto-trim pass detects and removes obvious whitespace margins, which you can then fine-tune with the manual crop box.
How do I crop the margins of a PDF?
Set the crop area and export. The visible area of each page is reduced, and the file is written in your browser with nothing uploaded.
Does cropping remove the content outside the crop?
No, and this is important: it hides it. The data is still in the file, and some viewers and text extractors can still reach it.
Can I use cropping to hide sensitive information?
No. Use redaction, which flattens the page into an image and physically destroys what was underneath. A crop only changes what is displayed.
Should I crop before or after compressing?
Before. The compressor renders each page at a fixed size, so cropping first means those pixels go to the content rather than to the margin.
Can I crop each page differently?
The crop is applied to the pages you select, so a document mixing portrait and landscape needs more than one pass to be handled properly.
