Cropping trims the edges of each page. Auto-crop finds the content and removes the empty margins, which makes documents easier to read on phones and e-readers. You can also set exact margins in millimetres.

Cropping is useful for scanned documents with dark borders and for printing slides or receipts without waste.

How to crop PDF

  1. Choose the PDF.
  2. Use automatic cropping or type the margins to cut.
  3. Click Crop and download.

Features

Private by design

Most online PDF sites upload your file to their server. AK Smarts PDF opens and processes it inside your own browser, on your computer or phone, so salary slips, bank statements, Aadhaar and PAN copies, and contracts never leave your device. It works on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone, and you can install it like an app to open PDFs with a double-click.

Questions

Is cropped content deleted?

The hidden area is outside the visible page. To remove private content permanently, use Redact PDF.

Can I crop to A4?

Use Resize PDF to fit pages to A4 or another paper size.

Does it work for scans?

Yes, including scans with dark edges.

Is AK Smarts PDF safe for confidential files?

Yes. Files are opened and processed on your own computer or phone and are never uploaded to our server. Only e-Sign sends a short fingerprint of the document, never the document itself.

Does Crop PDF work on my phone?

Yes. AK Smarts PDF works in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on Android, iPhone, Windows and Mac. You can also install it like an app.
