Why This Matters
What Is a PDF Crop Tool?
Doing this from a phone often means downloading yet another app just for one task. On Android, My PDF works directly in Chrome or any other mobile browser, so you can handle it from your phone without adding another app to your home screen.
A PDF crop tool trims an even margin off every side of every page, shrinking the visible page area without touching the content itself — the text and images that were already inside the trimmed boundary simply become the new, smaller page.
Step by Step
How to Crop PDF on Android
1
Upload Your PDF
Drag in the PDF you want to crop, or click to browse and select it. On Android, tap the upload area to open your file picker, or share directly from your gallery or Files app.
2
Choose a Trim Percentage
Set how much margin to remove from each side of every page.
3
Click Crop PDF
Our server trims every page, typically within seconds.

Tips
- Start With a Small Trim — A 5-10% trim is usually enough to remove a typical scanner border without cutting into content.
- Preview Before Printing Many Copies — Open the cropped file and check a page or two before printing a large batch.
- Use the "Files" app or your gallery's share option to select the file, or upload it directly if it's already saved to your device.
- If a file is coming from Google Drive or another cloud app, download it locally to your device first, then upload it from there.
Avoid These
Common Mistakes
- Uploading a file that is already password-protected without unlocking it first — most operations require an unencrypted starting file.
- Assuming a converted or compressed file replaces the need for the original — keep your source file until you have confirmed the result looks right.
- Not checking the 50 MB upload size limit before starting, then wondering why a very large scan fails to upload.
- Searching an app store for a dedicated app when a mobile browser already does the job without extra storage or permissions.
