Got a scanned document with huge white borders, or want to focus on a single table on a page? Cropping a PDF narrows the visible area to any rectangle you choose — and your file never leaves your device.
What is cropping a PDF good for?
- Trimming the wide margins on scanned documents.
- Focusing on a single table, chart or section on a page.
- Removing repeating header/footer areas from view.
- Framing the page neatly for presentation or printing.
How to crop a PDF — step by step
- Upload the PDF: Drag and drop your PDF into the crop tool; the first page opens in the preview.
- Set the crop box: Drag the box to move it, and resize from the corners or edges to select the area you want to keep.
- Choose scope and download: Pick 'All pages' or 'This page only' and click 'Crop & Download' to get the result.

Does cropping delete content?
No. Cropping is a standard PDF operation that narrows the page's visible area (CropBox); the remaining area displays and prints cleanly. It runs entirely in your browser, and your file is not sent to a server.
To crop different areas on different pages, use 'This page only' and apply it page by page. If you need to rotate pages first, use the 'Rotate PDF' tool.
