Crop PDF — Trim Margins, Set Page Box

% or absolute · per-edge · in your browser · lossless

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

    1. Drop the PDFs. The same crop is applied to every page of every file in the batch.
    2. Pick a unit. Percent is easiest for "trim 5% off every side"; mm or pt are better when you need an exact crop.
    3. 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.
    4. Click "Crop & download". Each output gets -cropped.pdf appended.

    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.
