Trim the margins of a PDF

Cut away white margins so the content fills the screen or the paper, or set exactly how much to take off each edge. The pages are cropped in this browser tab, with no upload.

How to crop a PDF

  1. Choose a PDF

    Pick the file or drop it on the page.

  2. Choose how to crop

    Let the tool find and trim the white margins of each page, or set the margins yourself: drag the area on the page or move the sliders. Page through the file to check every page.

  3. Crop

    Press Crop and download the new PDF. The original stays as it was.

Pages cut down to what matters

  • Text stays text and links, bookmarks and form fields stay as they were: only the visible area of each page changes.
  • Cropping hides, it does not delete. What is outside the new edges is still inside the file and can be brought back with a PDF editor, so don’t crop to remove something private.
  • Margins you set are applied to every page; automatic trimming looks at each page on its own.
  • A password-protected PDF keeps its password.

Questions

Is my PDF uploaded when I crop it?
No. The pages are measured and cropped by code in your browser, on your device.
Can white margins be removed automatically?
Yes. Choose to trim white margins and each page is cut to its content.
Does cropping delete the parts cut off?
No. A crop changes what is shown; the hidden parts remain in the file. To remove information for good, it has to be redacted, not cropped.
Does cropping lower the quality?
No. Nothing is redrawn or compressed.
