PDF Crop

Crop margins off every page of a PDF in one click. Ideal for cleaning up scans. Runs entirely in your browser.

Updated April 2026

Cropping is non-destructive — viewers respect the new crop box but content is preserved. 72pt = 1 inch.

What it does

Trim the margins off every page of a PDF at once. Enter how many points to shave from the top, right, bottom, and left (72 points = 1 inch; the default 36 = half an inch). Ideal for cleaning up old scans with wide margins, removing the white borders from a slide deck exported to PDF, or tightening up a long read for an e-reader.

The crop is non-destructive — viewers respect the new crop box but the original content stays in the file, so you can always widen the box back out later. If you need true page resizing (content actually scaled), a desktop PDF editor is a better tool.

How to use it

  1. Drop the PDF you want to crop.
  2. Enter margins in points for top/right/bottom/left (36 = 0.5 inch).
  3. Click Crop all pages — a new PDF saves with the trimmed crop box.
  4. Open it in any PDF viewer — the margins will appear gone.
