About Crop PDF Margins

Scans and exported documents often carry wide white borders that waste paper when printed and make text small on a phone. Trimming the margins lets the content fill more of each page, which is particularly noticeable when reading on a small screen.

Good to know

  • Cropping hides the margins rather than deleting content, so nothing in the text is lost.
  • Trim conservatively. Too aggressive a crop can clip descenders or page numbers.
  • Especially worthwhile for documents you plan to read on a phone.

Questions

Does cropping delete anything?

It changes the visible area of the page. Content outside that area is no longer shown.

Will the file get smaller?

Usually only slightly, since the underlying page data is still present.

Can I crop different amounts per page?

No, the same trim applies to every page.

What if I crop too much?

Start again from your original with a smaller trim.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs inside your browser using your own device. Your file never leaves it, and we never see or store it. You can even disconnect from the internet and the tool still works.

Is it really free?

Yes. No account, no daily limit, no watermark on your files. The site is paid for by ads.
