Crop PDF

Crop PDF margins on the pages you pick and preview the new edges before you download. Free, no upload; cropping hides content, it does not redact.

Synthetic example — review the operation settings before running.

A practical guide

Set the crop and check the output edges.

  1. Choose a PDF and select the page positions to crop.
  2. Set top, right, bottom and left margins using the available units.
  3. Create the copy and inspect all crop boundaries and nearby content.

Try this example

Crop excess visible margins on positions 1 and 3, then review each edge in the output to confirm the intended content remains in view.

Before

  • Page + margins

After

  • Smaller visible area
Input and expected output for this task. Illustrative example.

Before you start: Cropping changes the visible area and does not securely remove hidden content. Use a proper redaction workflow for sensitive material.

Inspect the visible page area
What you get
