Crop PDF
Trim margins or focus on the important part of each page.
Crop every page uniformly, or draw a custom rectangle on a preview and apply it to all pages. Great for removing scanner black borders, resizing to fit a Kindle, or cutting two-up spreads down to single pages.
How it works
Four calm steps.
- 01
Drop your file
Drag the PDF you want to crop onto the upload card, or click to pick it from your device. You can also paste a link to a file hosted online.
- 02
Draw or type the crop
Drag on the preview, or enter margins in millimetres or inches. Apply to all pages or ranges.
- 03
Preview before you commit
Check the outcome in the browser first. Reorder, remove, or re-run with different settings – nothing is final until you press download.
- 04
Download the result
Save the cropped PDF to your device, share a temporary link, or send it straight to Google Drive or Dropbox. Files are wiped from our servers within one hour.
Why Crop PDF
Built to be the last crop pdf tool you try.
Trim wide margins so PDFs render legibly on 6″ screens.
Cropping is non-destructive – the original page data is preserved, just clipped for display.
Uploads travel over TLS, files are encrypted at rest, and every trace is deleted within 60 minutes. We do not read, index, or train on your documents.
The free tier handles most day-to-day work. You only create an account if you want history, larger files, or batch automation.
