Remove unwanted white borders and extra margins from your PDF with this free online PDF crop tool. Simply draw a crop area around the content you want to keep, apply it to one page or the entire document and download a cleaner PDF. There is no watermark and the tool works on any device.

Crop PDF Pages With Precision

Many scanned documents and exported PDFs include large blank margins that reduce the size of the actual content. This tool lets you select exactly what you want to keep by drawing a crop box around your text, images, tables or charts. Once applied, the unnecessary borders are hidden, making your document look cleaner and easier to read. Since the tool only changes the visible page area, the original text and graphics remain sharp, clear and fully selectable. If your PDF pages are rotated, you can rotate them first for easier and more accurate cropping by Rotate PDF tool.

Crop a Single Page or the Entire PDF

Whether you need to crop one page or an entire document, this tool makes the process simple. Apply the same crop settings to every page when your document has consistent margins, or adjust each page individually if the layout changes throughout the file. This makes it perfect for scanned books, reports, presentations, manuals, and other PDF documents. Cropping only changes what is visible on the page and does not reduce the quality of the content. If you need to permanently remove hidden information for privacy reasons, using Redact PDF tool is the best option.

Free, Secure and Available Anywhere

This online PDF crop tool is completely free to use, and you do not need to create an account. Your files are protected with secure encrypted connection during upload and processing. After your editing session is finished, uploaded documents are automatically removed from the server after a short time to help keep your files private. The tool works in all modern web browsers on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone, allowing you to crop PDF files from any device. Your original document remains unchanged, and after cropping you can Compress PDF to reduce its file size for easier sharing and storage.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop the margins off a PDF?
Upload your PDF, adjust the crop box to select the area you want to keep, and apply the changes to remove extra space around the pages. The tool creates a new PDF with the smaller page size. You can crop one page or apply the same crop to all pages if they have matching margins.
Does cropping a PDF delete the trimmed content permanently?
Cropping removes the visible area outside the selected box by changing the page view, but it does not delete the hidden content. This works well for normal viewing and printing. If you need to permanently remove information for privacy or security, use the redact PDF tool, which deletes the covered content instead of only hiding it.
Can I apply the same crop to all pages at once?
If all pages have the same layout, such as a scanned book with equal margins, you can set one crop area and apply it to the entire PDF at once. If each page has a different layout, you can crop them separately. This makes the tool useful for both consistent scans and mixed documents.
Will cropping reduce the quality of my PDF pages?
Cropping changes the visible page area without changing the original content. Your text stays selectable, and images keep their original quality because nothing is compressed or reprocessed. The PDF simply shows a smaller part of the page, so the remaining content stays as sharp as before.
Why would I crop a PDF instead of just resizing it?
Cropping removes extra margins and blank areas so the important content takes up more space on the page. It is useful for cleaning scans or focusing on specific parts like charts. Unlike resizing, cropping does not shrink or stretch the content. It keeps everything at the same size while removing only the unwanted areas.
Is cropping a PDF online free and secure?
The tool is free to use with no account needed, and it does not add any watermark to your PDF. Your file is uploaded securely through an encrypted connection and automatically deleted after processing. It works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone. Your original file stays safe on your device.
