Crop PDF

Drag a crop box over the page and apply it to one page, a range or the lot. Auto-crop finds the content and trims the white space around it, which is the fastest way to make a scan or a slide deck fill the screen.

Questions people actually ask

Is the cropped-off content deleted?

Cropping sets the visible box, so the content outside it is hidden rather than destroyed — that is how the PDF format works. If it must be gone for good, crop and then run Compress on Extreme, which rasterises the visible area only.

Do you keep a copy of my file?

No. Crop PDF runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly and the Canvas API — the bytes of your document never travel to us. The only thing that reaches our servers is a counter incrementing by one, and whatever you deliberately choose to save to your library.

Is it really free?

Yes: three documents a day, up to ten pages each, with no account and no watermark. Beyond that, Baker is $10 a month for 300 documents with no page limit at all, and Bakery is $25 for 1,500.
