How to crop a PDF
To crop a PDF, add one file, set a crop box on the page or run the auto-trim pass to cut wide margins, then export the updated PDF. Because the tool works in your browser, the document stays on your device and is never sent to a server.
You can apply the same crop to a single page or to every page at once, which makes it quick to tighten a whole scanned document or slide deck in one move.
- Add one PDF
- Draw a crop box or run auto-trim on margins
- Apply to the current page or all pages
- Export the cropped PDF locally
Why crop a PDF instead of editing it fully
Many PDFs are structurally fine but framed badly — scan margins are too wide, page whitespace is distracting, or the printable area feels awkward. Cropping fixes the framing without opening a heavier editor or re-laying-out the document.
A focused crop tool keeps that task short: trim the page boxes, check the result, and export. It is the fastest path when the only problem is the visible frame around your content.
Does cropping keep the PDF as a PDF?
Yes. The manual crop path is built around PDF page boxes where possible, so the export stays a real PDF rather than a set of rasterized page images. That keeps the file lighter and the text crisp.
Because no upload is involved, cropping confidential contracts, statements, or scans is safe — the entire operation runs locally in your browser.
