Frequently Asked Questions

How do I crop a PDF for free?

Upload your PDF to TryDocsy's Crop PDF tool, drag the crop box over the region you want to keep (or type exact top/right/bottom/left margins), then click Crop and download. It's free, with no signup or watermark.

Can I automatically remove white margins?

Yes. Click “Auto-trim white margins” and the tool detects the content on the current page and sets the crop to hug it — perfect for tightening up scans and slides.

Can I crop all pages at once?

Yes. Choose “All pages” to apply the same crop to every page, or “This page” to crop only the page you're viewing. You can page through the document to preview each one.

Does cropping delete the content outside the box?

Cropping sets the visible page area (the PDF CropBox), so the content outside the box is hidden and the page displays and prints at the new size. The underlying quality of what remains is untouched.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. All rendering and cropping happen locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device, which makes this safe for private documents.

Can I crop a password-protected PDF?

Not directly — remove the password first with our Unlock PDF tool, then crop the unlocked file.
