Honest Limits
Percentage-based, applied to every page
This tool applies the same margin percentages to every page rather than letting you draw a crop box visually per page. It changes the visible page area, not the underlying content, so it usually won't reduce file size on its own.
FAQ
Crop PDF questions
How do I set the crop amount?
Enter a percentage to trim from the top, bottom, left, and right of every page.
Does cropping apply to every page the same way?
Yes, the same margins are applied to all pages in the file.
Does cropping reduce file size?
Cropping changes the visible page area but doesn't remove the underlying content, so it usually doesn't meaningfully reduce file size. Use Compress PDF for that.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Cropping runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to a server, and nothing is stored.
