Trim your PDF pages precisely.

PDF CROP

Keep the part of the page that actually matters.

Crop your PDF pages by selecting the exact area you want to keep. Draw directly over the page, preview the selection, and create a new PDF with the unwanted space removed.

HOW IT WORKS

Crop a page by drawing the area you want to keep.

The workspace displays your PDF page on a canvas. Drag across the page to create a crop region, adjust it by drawing again, and then apply the crop to the page you are working on or to the entire PDF.

01

Upload

Choose the PDF you want to crop.

02

Select

Drag across the page to define the area to keep.

03

Export

Create a new cropped PDF.

PRECISE SELECTION

Draw exactly what you want to keep.

The crop area is drawn directly over the rendered PDF page. A darkened overlay makes the selected region easy to distinguish from everything outside it.

CROP SCOPE

Crop one page or the entire document.

You can work page by page when different pages need different treatment, or apply the same crop region across every page when the document has a consistent layout.

CURRENT PAGE

Crop only the page you are viewing.

Useful when a single page contains extra margins, whitespace, or content that needs to be trimmed independently.

ALL PAGES

Apply the crop across the document.

Useful for documents where every page shares the same dimensions and layout.

WORK PAGE BY PAGE

Move through the document before you crop.

Navigate between pages and create the crop selection on the page where you need it. The workspace shows the current page number and total document length while you work.

EASY TO RESET

Changed your mind about the crop?

Reset the selection and return to the full page before creating the final PDF. This makes it easy to try another crop without having to upload the document again.

UNDER THE HOOD

How the crop becomes a new PDF.

The PDF page is rendered in the browser so the crop can be selected visually. The coordinates of the selected region are then converted from the canvas coordinate system into the PDF page's coordinate system.

The crop is applied to the selected PDF page by changing its crop box. When All pages is selected, the same crop region is applied to every page in the document.

The processed document is exported as a new PDF rather than replacing the uploaded file.

The generated file uses the original filename with -cropped.pdf added.

COMMON USES

Useful when the page has more space than the content needs.

Remove excess margins

Trim large empty borders around scanned documents, exported designs, or other page content.

Focus on a specific area

Keep only the portion of a page that contains the information you need.

Clean scanned pages

Remove unwanted borders and surrounding areas from scanned documents.

Standardize a document

Apply the same crop to every page when a document uses a consistent page layout.
