To crop a PDF, open it in the crop tool, drag the frame to the area you want to keep and apply it to one page or all of them. Oversized margins, scanner borders and slide handout padding disappear, leaving pages sized to their content.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open your PDF

    The free crop tool opens your document in the browser.

  2. 2

    Set the crop area

    Drag the frame to the region you want to keep — one page or all pages at once.

  3. 3

    Download the cropped PDF

    Pages are trimmed to the frame, perfect for reading on small screens or tight printing.

Bigger content, less margin

Cropped pages fill e-reader and tablet screens instead of wasting half the display on white space.

Fix scanner borders

Cut away the dark edges and hole-punch shadows that scanners leave behind.

Uniform or per page

Apply one crop to every page for consistency, or adjust individual pages that differ.

Frequently asked questions

Is cropping permanent?

The visible page area changes, and your original file stays untouched — re-crop from the original any time.

Can I crop all pages the same way?

Yes — set the frame once and apply it to every page in one click.

Does cropping reduce quality?

No — content is never re-rendered; the page boundaries simply move.

Is it free?

Yes, free in your browser without an account; files are deleted after 60 minutes.

How do I remove white margins from a scanned PDF?

Open the scan, drag the crop frame around the content and apply to all pages — the scanner’s white borders are trimmed away in one step.
