Crop PDF — Trim Margins, Set Page Box
Drop one or more PDFs, choose how much to trim from each edge, and download the cropped result. The cropbox is what viewers and printers display — the underlying page content stays intact, so any crop is reversible by resetting the box.

When to use this tool
Cropping a PDF is the right move when you want every viewer and printer to display only the inner part of each page — scans with broad whitespace, slides that came out boxed in, or a 2-up handout you want to chop in half. The PDF content itself isn't deleted; just the displayed window.
Step by step
- Drop the PDFs. The same crop is applied to every page of every file in the batch.
- Pick a unit. Percent is easiest for "trim 5% off every side"; mm or pt are better when you need an exact crop.
- Enter values per edge. Values are the amount to remove from each edge — 10 mm at top means the displayed page starts 10 mm down from the original top.
- Click "Crop & download". Each output gets
-cropped.pdfappended.
FAQ
Is content lost when I crop?
No — only the displayed window changes. Resetting the crop in any PDF tool gets the full page back. If you need a destructive crop (smaller file, content actually removed), flatten the cropped PDF.
What about mixed page sizes?
Percentages adapt to each page; mm/pt apply the same offset, so pages of different sizes end up with the same absolute margin trimmed.
Are my files uploaded?
Never — this runs entirely in your browser via pdf-lib. See the privacy policy.
