How it works

How to crop PDF pages

  1. 1

    Upload your PDF

    Drop the PDF onto the uploader. A preview of the first page loads so you can see the current margins before adjusting.

  2. 2

    Set your crop margins

    Enter inset values for the top, bottom, left, and right edges. Choose whether to apply the crop to all pages or specific ones.

  3. 3

    Download the cropped PDF

    Click Crop. The adjusted PDF is generated in your browser and downloaded immediately - no upload, no waiting.

PDF pages often carry excess whitespace from scanner borders, printer margins, or document templates that do not match the content area. The PDF crop tool lets you trim those margins precisely by entering inset values for each edge. Apply the same crop across every page for a uniform result, or set different values for individual pages when the layout varies.

Cropping runs privately in your browser with no server upload. Your PDF - whether it is a scanned book, a formatted report, or a design proof - stays on your device throughout. The crop is applied by adjusting the PDF MediaBox and CropBox values, which resizes the visible page area without discarding the underlying content. This means the crop is non-destructive and the hidden area can be recovered if needed.

Free to use with no registration. Cropping is useful when preparing PDFs for e-readers (where white borders waste screen space), printing on specific paper sizes, or cleaning up scanned documents before sharing. The per-page option makes it straightforward to handle mixed-layout documents where portrait and landscape pages sit side by side and need different margin adjustments.

FAQ

Common questions

Is cropping a PDF destructive?
No. The tool adjusts the CropBox metadata that controls what viewers display. The underlying page content is retained, so the crop can be reversed by modifying the CropBox values again.
Can I crop individual pages differently?
Yes. The per-page option lets you set different inset values for specific pages rather than applying a single crop uniformly across the document.
Is the crop tool free and private?
Yes to both. Cropping is free with no limits, and your PDF never leaves your browser - all processing happens locally on your device.
