Crop PDF on Android
Crop PDF on your Android phone or tablet right in Chrome — no Play Store app, no account, and nothing to install. ContinuePDF works with the Android share sheet, Files by Google, and Google Drive, so you can crop your PDF from wherever it lives. The whole thing runs on your device, so it works well even on a slower connection.

What you can do with Crop PDF
Cropping trims the visible area of PDF pages — cutting away excess margins, borders, or scan edges — so the content sits cleanly, without altering the text itself.
Remove scan borders
Cut the black edges or shadow a scanner leaves around a page.
Tighten wide margins
Trim oversized margins so more content fits on screen or prints larger.
Focus on one area
Crop each page down to a table, figure, or receipt when the rest of the page is not needed.
Standardise page size
Even out inconsistent margins across pages that came from different sources.
Crop PDF on Android without the Play Store
Play Store PDF apps tend to be ad-heavy, ask for broad storage permissions, and lock the actual crop feature behind a subscription. That is a lot to accept just to process one file, and it means giving an app ongoing access to your documents.
ContinuePDF runs in Chrome instead. There is no app to install and no special permission to grant — you simply pick your PDF from Downloads, Files by Google, or Google Drive, crop it, and the cropped PDF saves back to Downloads where the Android share sheet can send it anywhere. Because the work is done on your device, your files are never uploaded.
Why choose ContinuePDF
No Play Store
Runs in Chrome — no app, no ads-heavy download, no broad permissions.
Drive & Files
Pull files from Downloads, Files by Google, or Google Drive.
Share sheet ready
Send cropped PDF to any app via the Android share sheet.
Works on slow data
Processing is local, so it holds up on a weak connection.
Pro tip
Crop conservatively and preview before downloading — it is easy to cut into text or a signature line near the edge. If pages have different margins, adjust the crop per page rather than applying one box to everything.
Frequently asked questions
Does cropping delete the content outside the crop area?
Cropping trims the area outside the box so it no longer shows or prints. Because that region is removed from the visible page, crop with a little margin to avoid cutting anything important.
Can I apply the same crop to every page?
Yes. You can crop all pages to the same dimensions for a consistent look, or adjust individual pages when their margins differ.
Is there a Crop PDF app for Android?
You don't need one. Crop PDF runs in Chrome on Android. Add your PDF from Downloads, Files by Google, or Google Drive, and cropped PDF saves to your Downloads folder — no Play Store app required.
Where does the file go after processing on Android?
Cropped PDF is saved to your device's Downloads folder. From there you can open it in any app or send it with the Android share sheet.
Is ContinuePDF free to use?
Yes. ContinuePDF and all of its tools, including Crop PDF, are free with no signup required. Because documents are processed in your browser rather than on our servers, we can offer the full feature set at no cost.
