Crop PDF Pages

Trim the page down to what matters

Open a PDF, drag the crop box over what you want to keep — or type exact margins — then apply it to every page or just the ones you pick. Your document never leaves your device.

3 Set the margins

Percent scales with each page's own size; mm/inch/points crop the same fixed amount. In "Selected only" mode, every picked page keeps its own separate crop.

Why this one

See the crop before you commit

Typing margins blind is a guessing game. Here you drag a box over the actual page, watch the dimensions update live, and only then apply it — to one page or to all of them.

Drag-to-crop preview

Move the box, pull any edge or corner, and the margin fields update themselves. No trial and error.

All pages or just some

Cropping a scanned book's white border? Apply it to every page. Only need to trim the cover and one chart? Pick just those.

Percent or fixed size

Use percent so the crop scales to each page's own dimensions, or mm/inch/points for an identical crop everywhere.

Nothing is re-compressed

Cropping only changes the visible page area — text stays selectable, images stay at full resolution.

Your document stays put

The PDF is read and rewritten inside the browser tab. Nothing is transmitted, so private documents never touch a server.

Keep going without re-uploading

Not happy with the crop? Load the result straight back in and adjust it again.

How to use it

Four steps

Open the PDF

Drag it in or browse for it. The first page appears in the crop preview.

Drag the crop box

Pull an edge, a corner, or move the whole box — or type exact margins in mm, inches, points or percent.

Choose which pages

Apply the same crop to every page, or tap the exact pages that should be cropped.

Crop and download

Press the button and save the trimmed PDF. The original file on your disk is never changed.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The file is read and rewritten entirely inside your browser tab. Nothing is transmitted, which is also why the tool keeps working if your connection drops after the page has loaded.

Does my original file change?

No. A new PDF is built and offered as a download; the file on your disk stays exactly as it was.

Does cropping actually delete content, or just hide it?

It resizes the page itself, so every viewer, printer and downstream tool will only ever see the cropped area — this is the same non-destructive approach every standard PDF cropper uses, and it is why text stays selectable and images stay full quality.

What is the difference between percent and mm/inch/points?

Percent margins are worked out from each page's own width and height, so a mixed-size document stays proportional. Millimetre, inch and point margins are a fixed amount applied the same way to every page, which is what you want for trimming an identical printed border.

Can I crop only some pages and leave the rest untouched?

Yes. Switch "Apply to" to Selected only and tap the pages that should be cropped — everything else keeps its original size.

Can each selected page have a different crop?

Yes. In "Selected only" mode, whichever page is shown in the crop preview gets its own crop box — switch pages and adjust each one separately, or use "Copy to other selected pages" to reuse one crop everywhere else.

What about bookmarks, links and form fields?

They are kept as they were. If a link or a form field sat inside an area you cropped away, it will no longer be visible on that page, but the rest of the document is unaffected.

Can it edit password-protected PDFs?

You can open one and view the preview by entering the password, but a file with real encryption usually cannot be rewritten here. Remove the password in your PDF reader first, then come back. A PDF that only restricts printing or copying will edit normally.

Some of my pages are rotated — will the crop look right?

Margins are measured against the page as pdf.js renders it. Most documents are fine, but if a page has an unusual rotation the crop box may not line up the way you expect — straighten the page first if that happens.
