Crop PDF: how it works
Remove wide white margins so a PDF reads better on a phone or e-reader, or cut away headers, footers and scanner edges. The crop is applied with the PDF's own crop box, so nothing is re-rendered and text stays selectable.

Frequently asked questions
Is the cropped content deleted?
It's hidden, not deleted: PDF readers show only the cropped area, but the content is still in the file. Use Compress PDF afterwards if you need it gone from the file entirely.
Is the Crop PDF free?
Yes. The Crop PDF is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks, no daily limits and no premium tier.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. FileStripe processes your files locally in your web browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, so the Crop PDF is safe for private photos and confidential documents and even works offline once the page has loaded.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The Crop PDF works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone you can pick files from your photo library or files app and share the result straight to another app.
