Before you continue

Cropping is especially valuable for scanned documents

Scanners often capture more than the paper itself: dark edges, desk space and uneven margins. Cropping removes that visual noise before you compress, print, publish or archive the document.

About This Tool

Crop PDF allows you to trim margins and remove unwanted areas from your PDF pages. This is useful for removing excess whitespace, focusing on specific content areas, or standardizing page dimensions.

You can crop all pages uniformly or adjust each page individually. The visual interface shows exactly what will be kept, making it easy to achieve precise results.

All cropping happens locally in your browser, ensuring your documents remain private.
