PDFCrop
Crop, split and rotate PDFs on iPhone and iPad, entirely on your device.
PDFCrop trims white margins off scanned and exported PDFs, rotates sideways pages and splits two-page spreads, all on your iPhone or iPad. Drag a box, preview the result, apply it to every page and export a new PDF. Your original is never changed.
Your PDFs are processed on the device and are never uploaded. No account is needed. The free version shows ads and sends optional anonymous usage events (switch off in Settings).
Key Features
Crop
- Drag a crop box with corner and edge handles; pinch to zoom for precision
- Add several rectangles on one page; each becomes its own page in the export
- You set the box yourself; PDFCrop does not auto-detect margins
- Live Area Kept and Output Size on the export screen
Split
- Cut pages along horizontal or vertical lines, with snapping, to separate two-page spreads
- Several lines per page; the parts export as pages of one new PDF
Rotate
- Rotate a page left or right, or the whole document at once
Batch
- Apply the current crop or split to every page, or rotate all pages
- Choose whether unedited pages are kept or left out of the export
Undo & Restore
- Undo and redo per page; Clear a page or clear all edits
- Edits are saved with the project; your source PDF is never modified
Export & Share
- Pages are not re-rendered, so text and images keep their quality (file size stays close to the original)
- Optional password protection of the exported PDF
- Files tab with preview, rename, share (AirDrop, Files, iCloud Drive), and print
- Open a PDF from the Share sheet in Files, Mail, Safari and Messages
- Choose the file-name style: Source + Cropped, Timestamp or UUID
Note: cropping hides the area outside the box but does not delete it from the file. Do not rely on it to remove sensitive content.
Free & Pro
- Free: crop, split and rotate one page at a time; your first export is free, then watch a short ad for another; free exports carry a small PDFCrop badge; ads are shown
- Single Clean Export (small one-time purchase): one export with no badge and no ads
- Pro (one-time purchase, no subscription): unlimited exports, no badge, no ads, and batch apply of crops, splits and rotations to every page
Why You’ll Love It
It does one job quickly: turn a messy scan into a clean PDF that reads well on a phone and prints properly, without sending the document anywhere.
