About this tool

Crop PDF lets you trim the margins or zoom in on part of every page. Upload a PDF, drag the corners of the selection box over the page-1 preview to choose the area you want to keep, then apply it. The same crop is applied to all pages using pdf-lib, entirely in your browser, so your document is never uploaded and its content stays untouched, only the visible page area changes.

Cropping a PDF is the quickest way to clean up documents that carry more page than you need — wide scanner margins, a slide exported with borders, or a spreadsheet printed with acres of white space. Drag the corners of the selection box over the first-page preview to mark the area you want to keep, and the same crop is applied proportionally to every page, so a whole document is trimmed to a tidy, consistent size in one step.

The crop works by setting a new visible page area rather than rewriting the file, so it is fast and completely lossless — your text and images stay at full quality and the trimmed parts simply no longer show or print. Everything happens in your browser with the open-source pdf-lib library, so your document is never uploaded and nothing is stored on a server. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS in any modern browser, so you can crop a PDF on your laptop or your phone without installing an app.

Frequently asked questions

Does the crop apply to every page?

Yes. The selection you draw on the page-1 preview is applied proportionally to every page in the PDF.

Is the cropped-out content deleted?

Cropping sets a new visible page area, so the trimmed parts no longer show or print. The underlying content is hidden rather than rewritten, which keeps the process fast and lossless.

Will it change my page quality?

No. Text and images stay at full quality, only the page boundaries change.

Is my PDF private?

Yes. Everything runs in your browser using pdf-lib, your file is never uploaded to a server.

Do I need to install any software?

No. Crop PDF runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to download or install — just open the page and crop.

Can I crop each page to a different size?

No. One crop area is chosen on the first-page preview and applied proportionally to every page, so the whole document ends up the same trimmed size.

Can I undo the crop later?

The crop hides the trimmed area rather than erasing it, but this tool only applies a new crop — it does not reverse one. Keep your original file if you might need the full page back.

Can I crop a PDF on my phone?

Yes. The tool works in any modern mobile browser, so you can crop a PDF straight from your phone.
