Everything you need in a free PDF cropper

Trim PDF page margins

Crop every page by inches, millimeters, points, or percent — uniform trim or custom top, right, bottom, and left margins.

Keeps text selectable

Cropping updates page boxes with pdf-lib, so text, vector graphics, and layout stay intact — no image flatten.

100% browser-based

Your PDF is cropped on your device. Nothing is uploaded to Focera servers.

Drag & drop workflow

Drop a PDF up to 25 MB (50 pages), pick a quick trim or custom margins, preview, and download in a few clicks.

How It Works

Cropping a PDF should be quick and private. Focera keeps the whole flow on one page — upload, set margins, crop, and download without an account or desktop installer.

  1. Upload your PDF. Drag and drop a file up to 25 MB (max 50 pages), or click the zone to browse from your device.
  2. Choose units and margins. Use inches, mm, points, or percent. Pick a Light, Medium, or Heavy quick trim, or set each side yourself.
  3. Crop and download. Every page is trimmed locally. Preview the result and download again anytime.

Jump back to the PDF cropper anytime to process another file.

Popular Use Cases

  • Scanner white borders — Remove leftover margins from phone or flatbed scans.
  • Print-ready trim — Cut excess whitespace before printing or binding.
  • Focus on content — Tighten slides, worksheets, or forms for easier reading on screen.
  • Clean exports — Trim letterheads or footer bands before sharing a shorter page.

Private by Design

Your PDF is read and cropped entirely in your browser. Focera does not receive the file, store pages, or run cropping on a remote server. When you leave the page, temporary previews are revoked and nothing remains on our infrastructure.

  • PDF Editor — Reorder, rotate, or extract pages before or after cropping.
  • Compress PDF — Shrink cropped PDFs for email, uploads, and sharing.
  • Split PDF — Break a PDF into pages, ranges, or fixed-size chunks.
  • Merge PDF — Combine multiple PDFs into one file before cropping.
  • PDF Watermark — Stamp a logo or image watermark on every page.
  • Unlock PDF — Remove a password from a protected PDF before cropping.
  • PDF to JPG — Convert pages into JPEG images for sharing and design tools.
  • Invoice Generator — Create professional invoices and download them as PDF.

FAQ

Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?

No. Cropping runs entirely in your browser with pdf-lib. Your files stay on your device.

How does cropping work?

You set margins in inches, millimeters, points, or percent. Each page’s media and crop boxes are updated so viewers show only the trimmed area.

Will text stay selectable?

Yes. Pages are not flattened into images — text, vector graphics, and layout remain intact after cropping.

Can I set different margins per side?

Yes. Use Custom mode to set top, right, bottom, and left independently, or Uniform for the same trim on every side.

Is there a file size or page limit?

Yes. Upload PDFs up to 25 MB with a maximum of 50 pages per crop.

Can I crop password-protected PDFs?

Not directly. Unlock the file first with Unlock PDF, then upload the unlocked copy to crop.
