Auto-Crop PDF Margins

Automatically trim white margins from every PDF page. Free and private in your browser, no upload.

Trim empty margins without drawing boxes

Scans and exports often leave huge white borders. Auto-crop finds the content box on each page and trims to it — locally, with no manual marquee.

What you can do with it

Tighten scanned pages
Remove scanner bed margins before merging or OCR.
Maximize on-screen reading
Crop slides or handouts that waste space on whitespace.

How to auto-crop a PDF

  1. Open your PDF — it loads locally with no upload.
  2. Click Auto-crop & download.
  3. Review the trimmed pages in your PDF reader.

Content-aware margins

Detection looks for non-white pixels, so light gray backgrounds may remain. For stubborn gray beds, run Scan cleanup first, then auto-crop.

Manual crop still available

When only one region matters, the Crop editor gives precise control. Auto-crop is for bulk margin trim across whole documents.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Margin detection and cropping run entirely in your browser.
How are margins detected?
Each page is rendered and the bounding box of non-white pixels is measured, then the page is cropped to that box with a small padding.
