Cut a page down to what matters
Trim the borders off a scan
Scanners love to leave a fat white frame around the page, and photographed documents come with the desk in the shot. Drag the crop box in to the edge of the actual content and the excess disappears. It's just as useful for slides — pull a full-screen export down to the chart you actually want to show.
- Cut away white margins from scans
- Crop a slide down to a single figure
- Set the crop once, applied across the document
- Preview the trimmed page before saving
Your pages never leave the browser
Cropping a bank statement to keep only the one line you need to share? Because BrowsePDF runs entirely in your browser, the document is never uploaded — the crop happens on your device and the file you download is the only copy that moves. Nothing sits on a server.
Crop from any screen
The cropper works in the browser you already have, so you can tighten a PDF on your laptop or a tablet without installing anything. Drag the box, check the preview, and download — same on every device.

Crop PDF questions
Does cropping upload my PDF?
No. The file is loaded and cropped entirely in your browser, on your device, and is never sent to a server.
Is it free, and is there a watermark?
Yes, cropping is free with no login, and your downloaded PDF has no BrowsePDF watermark.
Does the crop apply to every page?
Yes. The crop area you set is applied across the document, which keeps the pages a consistent size — ideal for scans with the same border on every page.
Is the cropped-away content really gone?
Cropping hides the trimmed area from view in the downloaded PDF. To truly remove sensitive content from a page, use redaction instead.
Can I crop a photographed or scanned document?
Yes. Cropping works on any PDF page, including scans and photos, so it's a quick way to cut the surrounding desk or white frame down to the document.
About cropping PDFs
A PDF page is often mostly empty space or mostly the wrong stuff — a scan framed by a white border, a slide export with a title bar you don't need, a photo of a receipt with half the table in view. Cropping fixes the framing: you keep the part that matters and trim everything around it, so the document reads tighter on screen and prints without wasted margins.
Because the same crop applies across the file, it's especially handy for multi-page scans where every page has the same border to shave off. BrowsePDF does this in your browser, so statements, receipts, and drafts you'd rather not upload stay on your device. And the cropped file lands right back in the editor, ready for you to number the pages, sign it, or export it without a round trip to a server.
