Visually trim margins or cut specific areas from PDF pages. Draw a crop rectangle directly on the page preview to define exactly which area to keep. This is useful for removing headers, footers, whitespace, or focusing on specific content areas.
The crop tool modifies the visible area of the page without destroying the underlying content. You can apply the same crop to all pages or set different crops per page. Everything runs in your browser for instant, private processing.

Cropping is non-destructive to the underlying content — it adjusts the visible area (the "media box") of each page. This means the original content still exists in the file but is hidden outside the crop boundary. Use this to remove distracting margins from scanned documents or to standardize page sizes across a multi-page document.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I crop different areas on different pages?
Currently, the same crop region is applied to all pages. For per-page cropping, use an image editor after converting to images.
Does cropping reduce file size?
Not significantly, since the hidden content is still stored in the file. Use our Compress tool for size reduction.
Can I undo a crop?
The original content is preserved in the file, but you cannot visually undo the crop in this tool. Keep your original file as a backup.
