What Is PDF Cropping?

PDF cropping changes the visible area of each page, hiding unwanted margins, scanner edges, headers, footers, or blank space.

This tool applies crop boxes directly to the PDF pages, so the document keeps its original content while readers show only the selected area.

Remove PDF Margins and White Space

Use the crop overlay to trim excess margins from scanned pages, reports, forms, and printable documents.

Cropping can make pages easier to read on screens and cleaner when inserted into another document.

Preview and Adjust Each Page

The preview shows the selected page with the hidden area shaded out, so you can see exactly what will remain visible.

Move between pages to set different crop boxes before creating the final PDF.

Crop PDF FAQs

Can I crop each page differently?

Yes. Each page keeps its own crop box, so you can adjust pages individually before downloading.

Does cropping delete PDF content?

Cropping changes the visible page area. Hidden content may still exist in the PDF structure depending on the viewer.

Can I remove white margins?

Yes. Drag the crop box inward to trim blank margins or scanner borders.

Are my PDFs uploaded?

No. Cropping runs locally in your browser.
