When to crop a PDF
Scanned pages frequently come with uneven white borders, and printed documents often have wide unused margins. Cropping removes that empty space for a tighter, more professional-looking file.
Cropping can also make room for notes: trimming the margin before printing gives you space for handwriting on the side.
Why crop PDFs in your browser
Cropping adjusts the visible crop box only; it never deletes page content, so you can always widen the margins again later.
The operation is fully local: no upload, no account, no limits. Free in the browser, and available offline on iPhone through PDF Shrink.
FAQ
Is the content deleted?
No. Cropping changes the visible crop box; it does not delete page content, so it can be widened again later.
What unit is the margin in?
Points, the standard PDF unit. 72 points equal one inch.
Does cropping apply to every page?
Yes. The same trim is applied to all pages, which keeps the document uniform.
Is the original file changed?
No. The crop box is adjusted in a new copy.
