How to Crop and Trim PDF Margins Online
Sometimes a PDF document has way too much white space around the edges, or you need to focus on a specific chart or section of a page for a presentation. Our Crop PDF tool gives you surgical control over your document's dimensions, allowing you to trim margins and resize pages in seconds.
Our interface is designed to be visual and intuitive. Instead of guessing coordinates or measurements, you can simply drag a selection box around the area you want to keep. You can apply the same crop to all pages at once—ideal for removing uniform margins—or customize the area for individual pages.
Precision Cropping Tools
- Visual Selection: Use your mouse or touch screen to draw exactly where the new page boundaries should be.
- Apply to All: Save time by applying your crop settings to the entire document with a single click.
- Preserve Resolution: We don't re-encode your PDF; we update the "MediaBox" metadata, ensuring that image quality remains 100% intact.
- Cloud Security: All processing is done over secure SSL connections, and your files are purged from our servers automatically.
Cropping is more than just removing white space; it's about making your documents more readable on small screens and optimizing them for printing. Our tool works perfectly on mobile devices, so you can fix a document's layout while you're on the go.
After cropping your file, you may want to Compress PDF to further reduce its file size, or Add Page Numbers to refresh the document's structure.

Will cropping reduce my file size?
Yes, by removing unnecessary data outside the crop area, the overall file size typically decreases, making the PDF easier to share and store.
