About Crop PDF
Crop PDF trims the same margin off every page, removing scanner borders, wide white margins or printer marks.
How to use Crop PDF
- Add your PDF.
- Enter how much to trim from the top, right, bottom and left in points (72 points = 1 inch, about 28 points = 1cm).
- Press Crop PDF.
- Download and check nothing important was cut off; adjust and retry if needed.
Tips for better results
- Start small (20 points) and increase gradually.
- An A4 page is about 595 × 842 points.
- Use Extract pages first if only some pages need cropping.
Limitations
Cropping hides the area outside the new edges rather than deleting it, so don't rely on cropping to remove sensitive information.
Frequently asked questions
Is cropped content really gone?
No — it is hidden by the new page boundary. For sensitive data, use a proper redaction tool.
Can I crop each page differently?
Not in one run. Split the pages, crop separately and merge.
