Why Use It

Common reasons people crop PDFs

Remove wide margins

Trim excess white space around scanned or printed pages.

Focus on content

Cut headers, footers, or borders that aren't needed in the final version.

Adjust page dimensions to fit a specific paper size or binding requirement.

How It Works

Simple 3-step workflow

1. Upload your PDF

Choose the PDF file you want to crop.

2. Set the crop margins

Enter how much to trim from each edge as a percentage.

3. Download the cropped PDF

Save the file with the new page margins.

Honest Limits

Percentage-based, applied to every page

This tool applies the same margin percentages to every page rather than letting you draw a crop box visually per page. It changes the visible page area, not the underlying content, so it usually won't reduce file size on its own.

FAQ

Crop PDF questions

How do I set the crop amount?

Enter a percentage to trim from the top, bottom, left, and right of every page.

Does cropping apply to every page the same way?

Yes, the same margins are applied to all pages in the file.

Does cropping reduce file size?

Cropping changes the visible page area but doesn't remove the underlying content, so it usually doesn't meaningfully reduce file size. Use Compress PDF for that.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Cropping runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to a server, and nothing is stored.
