How to crop a PDF online

STEP 1

Upload a PDF with wide margins, scanner borders, or extra whitespace around the content.

STEP 2

Define the region to keep: remove empty edges or focus on a specific section of each page.

STEP 3

Click Crop. Download when processing finishes. Each file stays available for up to 5 downloads.

Remove scanner borders

Cut dark edges and padding from phone or flatbed scans so the document looks clean on screen.

Focus on content

Tighten the frame around tables, diagrams, or signatures when margins are not needed.

Browser-based editing

Crop PDF pages online without installing desktop PDF software.

Crop vs resize for PDFs

Cropping removes outer areas of a page while keeping the remaining content at its current scale. Resizing changes the overall page dimensions. Crop when whitespace is the problem; resize when the paper size itself is wrong.

After you crop

If the file is still large, run PDF Compressor. If pages are sideways, use Rotate PDF first. For multi-page cleanup, Organize PDF helps when only some pages need reordering.

Will cropping delete text?

Anything outside the crop box is removed from the page. Double-check the preview area so important content stays inside the frame.

Does cropping shrink file size?

Removing large blank margins can reduce size slightly. Use PDF Compressor for bigger savings on image-heavy scans.

Should I rotate before cropping?

Usually yes. Orient pages correctly first so the crop region matches how you read the document.

Can I crop multiple PDFs at once?

Yes. Upload a batch within plan limits, apply crop settings, and download each result.
