How it works

  1. 01

    Choose a file for Crop PDF. It accepts PDF. Most files stay in this tab.

  2. 02

    Set the options on the workbench — preview, crop or timeline when this tool has one — then press Run.

  3. 03

    Download the result. It is also saved in your tray so the next tool can pick it up without another upload.

About this tool

36 pt is half an inch — enough to cut a scanner's white frame on many letters. The same inset is used on every page. If a page would become too small the run stops instead of producing a broken file.

Questions

What can I open in Crop PDF?
Crop PDF accepts PDF. Older video containers such as AVI, WMV, FLV, MPEG and 3GP are decoded by the server encoder.
Does Crop PDF upload my file?
Most MP4, WebM, images and PDF stay in this tab. Instagram/TikTok crops, DVD, GIF, iPhone presets, stabilize, hard containers (AVI, WMV, HEVC) and a failed local encode go to the server encoder. The file is processed and discarded — we do not keep a copy.
How large can the file be?
Free: 500 MB and 8 exports a day. Plus (waitlist) raises the daily cap. A pasted public file URL is also accepted.
