Features

Drag-to-Crop Preview

See exactly what will be removed before you download — drag any edge of the crop box directly on the rendered page.

Exact Measurements

Prefer precision? Type exact margin values in points for top, bottom, left and right.

Quick Presets

One click to trim 5%, 10% or 15% off every edge — handy for removing scanner borders fast.

Every Page at Once

The crop box you set is applied identically to every page in the document.

No Quality Loss

Cropping only changes the visible page boundary. Text, fonts and vector graphics are completely untouched.

Everything runs locally in your browser using pdf-lib and pdf.js. Your file is never uploaded to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does cropping delete the trimmed content permanently?

The crop tool changes the page boundary (the MediaBox and CropBox), so trimmed-away areas are no longer visible or printed. Depending on the viewer used to later re-open the file, some advanced PDF editors can still reveal content outside the crop box, so do not rely on cropping alone for removing sensitive information — use Redact PDF for that instead.

Can I crop each page differently?

This tool applies one crop box to the entire document in a single pass, which covers the vast majority of use cases (removing scanner borders, wide margins, etc). For page-specific cropping, split the PDF first, crop each part separately, then merge them back together.

Will cropping change the page size shown in my PDF reader?

Yes — the visible page size shrinks to match the crop box you set, since both the MediaBox and CropBox are updated together for consistent behaviour across PDF viewers.

Does it work on password-protected PDFs?

Password-protected PDFs cannot be modified directly. Please use an unprotected version of your PDF.
