Crop a PDF
Trim away the white margins, a scanner edge or everything but one panel — with the same crop on every page, or a different one per page.

How to crop a PDF
- Open the PDF and choose the Crop tool.
- Drag on the page to mark the area you want to keep.
- Choose “Same on every page” or “Each page its own”.
- Save the cropped document.
What you get
- Drag-and-adjust crop box with live handles.
- One crop for the whole document, or a per-page crop where they differ.
- Ideal for tightening scans and removing scanner borders.
- Nothing is deleted from the page content — the visible area changes.
- Runs on your device; the file is never uploaded.
When you would use it
Straighten up a scan
Cut off the black scanner edge and the shadow along the spine.
Fit a slide deck to a page
Trim the wasted margin so the content fills the paper when printed.
Keep one panel of a large drawing
Crop to the section you actually need to share.
Why it stays on your device
Most online PDF sites upload your document to a server, process it there and email you a link. This one does not. The PDF is opened, changed and saved by your own browser, so a contract, a bank statement or an ID scan never travels over the network — and the tool keeps working on a slow connection.
Questions
Does cropping delete the hidden content?
Cropping sets the page's visible area, so the trimmed part stops being shown. If you need content genuinely removed, use the Redact tool instead.
Can I crop only some pages?
Yes — choose “Each page its own” and set a crop on the pages that need one.
Will cropping shrink the file size?
Usually only a little, because the underlying content is still there. Run Compress afterwards if size matters.
Can I undo a crop?
The saved file keeps the new crop, so work from a copy if you want to go back to the original margins.
How do I remove white margins from a PDF?
Drag the crop box to the content, choose “Same on every page” and save — the margins stop being displayed.
Can I crop each page differently?
Yes. Switch to “Each page its own” and set a crop only on the pages that need one.
