Crop PDF Pages Online

Trim unwanted white margins, headers, footers, or page numbers from any PDF document. Upload your PDF, drag a selection box directly on the page preview to choose the area you want to keep, and click Crop PDF! to apply the crop across every page in the document at once.

For exact measurements, you can enter the crop coordinates and dimensions (in PDF points, where 72 points = 1 inch) manually, or lock the selection to a preset aspect ratio such as 1:1 (square), 4:3, 16:9, 3:2, or the golden ratio. Because cropping updates the PDF page boundaries directly without converting pages to images, all text, fonts, and vector graphics remain sharp and selectable.

Common Uses

  • Removing wide margins — trim excess whitespace around academic papers, ebooks, or manuals so text appears larger on tablets and e-readers.
  • Cleaning up scans — cut away dark scanner borders, hole-punch marks, or shadows along the edges of scanned pages.
  • Preparing slides and handouts — remove running headers, footers, or printer crop marks before sharing or printing.
