Crop PDF Pages, free in your browser

Set how much to trim from each edge of every PDF page, then download a cropped copy. Cropping changes the visible page area; it does not erase hidden content.

How to crop PDF pages

1. Choose a PDF to see its page count.
2. Enter the amount to trim from each edge. The same margins apply to every page.
3. Download the cropped copy and check it in your PDF reader.

Limits & good to know

• The same margins are applied to every page, measured in PDF points (72 points equal one inch).
• Cropping changes the page view box only. Content outside the visible area remains in the PDF and is not securely removed.
• The export is refused if the margins would leave any page smaller than 36 points in either direction.
• Changing a signed PDF would invalidate its digital signature, so signed documents are refused.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

Your files are processed on your device, not uploaded to our servers. Your file and edits are saved in this browser for recovery, and previous documents remain in Saved drafts when you open another file. Use Saved drafts to resume or delete individual copies, or clear this site’s browser data to remove all copies. Browser storage can be cleared or become unavailable; download important work.

Does cropping permanently delete content outside the page?

No. This tool adjusts the visible crop box. Text and images outside that box remain in the PDF and may be revealed by changing the page box later. Use secure redaction when you need to remove sensitive content.

What is a PDF point?

PDF page dimensions use points: 72 points equal one inch. Enter the amount to trim from each page edge in points.

Is this really free, or free "until you hit a limit"?

Really free. Unlike most "free" PDF sites there is no task-per-day cap, no locked Pro features, no watermark stamped on your file, and no payment step before download. Every tool is the full tool.
