What this tool does
What this tool does
Reduce the visible page area by applying crop margins to PDF pages.

Detailed step-by-step guide
- Choose the PDF and inspect the page margins you want to remove.
- Enter crop amounts for the top, right, bottom, and left edges in the units shown by the workspace.
- Apply cropping. New page boxes are calculated so the unwanted margins fall outside the visible page area.
- Check pages with different layouts to ensure headers, page numbers, footnotes, or side notes were not cut off.
What this tool can do
- Supports independent margins on each side.
- Changes visible page bounds without editing the original source file.
- Processes all targeted PDF pages consistently.
Tips for this tool
- Start with small crop values and increase gradually.
- Check mixed-size documents because one crop value may be safe for one page and too aggressive for another.
Privacy and processing
While using Crop PDF, this published version performs the supported document operation in your browser and does not send the document contents to an external conversion engine. Anonymous usage counters may record activity, not the document contents.
Important limitations
- Cropping can hide content outside the new page box without necessarily erasing every underlying PDF object.
- A negative or excessive crop can create an invalid or nearly empty page.
