To crop a PDF, open it in DollarFix PDF's in-browser editor and use the crop tool: auto-trim removes the white margins in one click, or set exact margins yourself, for one page or all pages. The crop is non-destructive, so it can be widened again later. Editing is free, the file never leaves your browser, and downloading costs $1 once.

Wide margins are wasted screen. A scanned book page floating in white space, an academic paper that shrinks to nothing on an e-reader, a slide deck exported with a border on every side — cropping fixes all of them by cutting the page down to the content that matters. DollarFix PDF makes the cut inside your browser. The document is never uploaded anywhere, so a signed contract is as safe to crop as a recipe.

There are two ways to make the cut. Auto-trim measures the white space around the content and removes it for you — one click, done, ideal when every page carries the same generous margins. Manual mode gives you the margins as numbers instead, which is the better choice when you want a specific result: shave exactly the header strip, keep a little breathing room, or match another document. Either way, you decide whether the crop applies to the current page only or to every page at once.

The crop is non-destructive. It changes which part of the page is displayed, but the content outside the new edges is hidden rather than deleted — so you can re-open the file later and widen the view again, and nothing is lost if you trim slightly too far. The honest flip side: because the material still exists in the file, cropping is not a way to remove sensitive information. For that, redact or whiteout the content instead.

Cropping, like every edit here, is free — the $1 is charged once, only when you download the finished file. There is no account to make, no subscription hiding behind the button, and no cap on pages, file size or how many documents you crop today. If the margins bother you on a 400-page scan, fix all 400 in one pass and pay a dollar for the lot.

How to crop a PDF

1
Open the file
Load your PDF straight into the browser editor — nothing is installed and nothing is uploaded.
2
Choose the crop tool
Select Crop. Auto-trim finds and removes the white margins for you, or switch to manual margins for exact control.
3
Set the scope
Apply the crop to the current page or to all pages, and adjust until the preview looks right — it's non-destructive, so nothing is lost.
4
Download the cropped PDF
Pay $1 once and save the trimmed file to your device — that is the entire cost.
Open the editor now
No subscription
Others lock downloads behind $10–30/month plans. Here you pay $1 once, only when you export — nothing else.
Private by design
Your PDF is opened and edited inside your browser. It is never uploaded to a server — your file stays on your device.
Edits the real content
Change actual text, move and resize images, redact, sign and fill — not just sticky annotations on top. Full Unicode & Cyrillic.

Frequently asked questions

Is cropping a PDF free?
Yes — open the file, trim it, preview, adjust again, all without paying. $1 is charged a single time when you download the cropped PDF; nothing else, ever.
Does my PDF get uploaded?
No. Cropping happens locally in your browser. There is no server on the other end holding a copy of your document.
Is there a limit on pages or file size?
No — no page cap, no size cap, no daily quota. A single dollar covers the download whether the file is 2 pages or 2,000.
Can I undo the crop later?
Yes. The crop is non-destructive: it changes what is displayed, not what is stored, so the hidden margins can be brought back by cropping wider in a later edit.
Does cropping remove the content outside the new edges?
No — it hides it. The material still exists inside the file, which is exactly why cropping must never be used to conceal sensitive information. Use redaction or whiteout when content has to be genuinely gone.
Can I crop only one page?
Yes. Each crop can apply to the current page or to every page — useful when only the cover has odd margins.
Will auto-trim work on a scanned document?
Auto-trim detects white margins, so clean scans work well. If a scan has grey or noisy edges, switch to manual margins and set the cut yourself.
