About Crop PDF

Scans arrive with wide, uneven borders that waste ink and shrink the readable area on a tablet. Cropping tightens the page and makes the content fill the screen.

Questions about crop PDF

Is the cropped-off content deleted?

Cropping adjusts the page's visible boundary rather than erasing anything, which is what PDF readers and printers respect. If you need the hidden material genuinely gone, run the result through Flatten PDF afterwards.

Is Crop PDF really free?

Yes — every tool on PDF Love is free, with no account, no email, no trial period, and no watermark stamped on your output. There is no file-count limit and no daily quota.

What happens to my files?

They never leave your device. This tool runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your file is read from local memory, processed locally, and handed straight back. Nothing is uploaded, which is why it still works with your Wi-Fi switched off.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no limit imposed by us. Because the work happens on your own device, the practical ceiling is your available memory — comfortably a few hundred megabytes on a normal laptop or phone.

Does it work on a phone or tablet?

Yes. The site is built mobile-first and works in any modern browser on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux. There is nothing to install.
