Crop PDF cut margins from every page, or just some

A scan with a wide white border, a page footer you don't need, or margins that waste space when you print. Set how much to cut off each side as a percentage, name the pages if you only want some, and download it. Nothing is re-compressed — the pages themselves are untouched.

Cropping hides, it does not delete

A PDF page carries a note that says which part of it should be shown — the crop box. Cropping here changes that note and nothing else: the text stays text, the images stay exactly the bytes they were, and a searchable scan stays searchable.

That also means the content outside the box is still in the file, the same way a PDF viewer can widen the view again. Cropping is for tidying a page's edges, not for permanently removing something sensitive — treat it like trimming a photo, not shredding a document.

Why a percentage, not millimetres

A 10% margin looks the same on an A4 invoice and a US Letter form, and it scales itself on a document that mixes a portrait report with one landscape spreadsheet page in the middle. A fixed measurement in millimetres would eat a small page and barely touch a large one, so every margin here is a percentage of that page's own width or height.

Cropping only some pages

Leave the pages box empty and every page gets the same margins. Type 3 and only page three is cropped; type 2,5-7 and it is page two plus pages five through seven. The rest of the document keeps its original size, untouched.

About your file

Your PDF is uploaded to our own machine, changed there, and the original is deleted the moment it is done. The result is deleted automatically after 45 minutes.

Cropped a page down to the wrong size? Run the download back through with smaller margins, or start again from your original — the margins are measured from the page as it currently is, so a second crop always cuts from what you see now. Need the whole page turned instead of trimmed? Rotate PDF does that. Only need a few pages out of a bigger file? Split PDF pulls out a range.

Common questions

How do I crop a PDF?

Drop the PDF in, set a top/bottom/left/right margin as a percentage, name pages if you only want some, and press Crop. The download has the new crop saved into the file.

Does cropping delete the content outside the box, or just hide it?

It hides it. Cropping moves the page's visible boundary; the underlying content is still in the file, the same way a PDF viewer can widen the view again. If you need content permanently removed for privacy, cropping is not the right tool.

Can I crop just some pages?

Yes. Type the page numbers in the pages box, for example 3, or 2,5-7 for several. Leave it empty to crop every page.

Does cropping reduce the quality?

No. Only the page's visible boundary changes. Text stays text, images keep their exact bytes, and a searchable scan stays searchable.

Why is the margin a percentage instead of millimetres?

A percentage works the same on every page size, including a document that mixes A4 and a landscape page. A fixed measurement would eat a small page and barely touch a large one.

Is there a page limit?

25 pages per file. There is no account, no watermark and no daily cap.
