Crop PDF
Crop PDF pages by setting the crop box. Modifies the viewing area without destroying content (reversible).
About Crop PDF
Crop PDF trims the visible area of every page by adjusting the crop box, so you can cut away wide scanner margins, a recurring header band, or a sidebar without rebuilding the document. Because it only changes the crop box, nothing is destroyed — the trimmed content is still there and the crop is reversible. Everything happens in your browser, so the PDF never leaves your device.

Common uses
- Trim the thick white margins off a book chapter you scanned so it fills more of an e-reader screen
- Cut a repeating top banner or page furniture off every page before merging documents from different sources
- Tighten the margins on a slide-deck export so the slides print edge to edge
- Remove a wide left gutter from double-page scans so single pages read cleanly
- Standardize the visible area across a stack of pages that were captured at slightly different zoom levels
- Crop a receipt or form down to just the relevant box before sharing it
Frequently asked questions
Does cropping delete the content outside the box?
No. It only changes the crop box, which controls the viewing area. The underlying content stays in the file, so the crop can be undone or reset later.
What files can I crop?
Any standard PDF (application/pdf). The output is a PDF with updated crop boxes.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The crop runs entirely in your browser. The file is never sent to a server.
Can I crop different pages by different amounts?
The tool sets the crop box on the pages you target; for pages that need wildly different margins you can run it more than once on different page selections.
Will text still be selectable after cropping?
Yes. Because content isn't removed, text and links remain intact within the visible area.
