How to crop PDF
Follow these simple steps to get professional results in seconds
- 1
Upload the PDF
Drop the file. The first page appears with a crop box you can drag.
- 2
Set the crop area
Drag the box edges, or type top, right, bottom and left margins in millimetres or percent. Choose whether to apply it to all pages or a range.
Pro tip
Turn on 'Auto-trim whitespace' to detect the content edges for you. - 3
Crop and download
Click Crop PDF. The crop is applied as a page box, so the content itself is untouched and remains vector.

Pro Tips for Crop PDF
Get the most out of your crop PDF experience
Lossless
Cropping sets the page's visible box. Nothing is re-rendered, so text stays sharp and searchable.
Presentation slides
Crop the wide margins of slide hand-outs to make them easier to read on phones.
Scanned books
Use different crops for odd and even pages to remove the gutter on each side.

Frequently Asked Questions — Crop PDF
Everything you need to know about how to crop PDF online
Is cropping permanent?
The cropped area is hidden, not deleted. Some advanced editors can restore it. Use Flatten PDF (rasterize) if you need the cropped content gone for good.
Can I crop just one page?
Yes. Enter a page range in the Pages field.
What is auto-trim?
It analyses the page image to find the edges of the content and sets the crop box tightly around it.
Are my files secure while I crop a PDF?
Yes. Everything happens inside your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded, and nothing is stored on a server.
Do you keep a copy of my document?
No. The file lives in your browser's memory only. When you close or refresh the tab it is gone. We cannot see it, and neither can anyone else.
