Crop a PDF — Trim Margins & Resize Pages
Cut away white margins or scanned edges, or resize pages to A4 or Letter. Free and entirely in your browser.
Trim unwanted margins off a PDF, or resize its pages to A4 or Letter. Drag a crop box on the page preview, choose whether to apply it to one page, a range, or the whole document, then download the result. It all happens in your browser.
Who uses the crop tool
- Removing black or skewed edges left behind by a scanner.
- Cutting wide white margins so the text is bigger to read on a phone or e-reader.
- Trimming a chart or table out of a full page.
- Standardising mixed page sizes to A4 or Letter before printing.
Crop a PDF in 4 steps

- 2. Open the "Crop & resize" tool and drag the crop box on the preview.
- 3. Pick the range: the current page, a page range, or all pages.
- 4. Download the cropped file.
Cropping vs. resizing
Cropping tightens the page boundary to the area you selected — the content stays at its original size and the edges disappear. Resizing scales the content to fit a full A4 or Letter page and centres it. Use crop to get rid of margins, and resize to make a document consistent before printing.
Frequently asked questions
Can I crop every page at once?
Yes — choose "all pages" to apply the same crop box across the whole document, or set a specific range.
Does text stay selectable after cropping?
Yes — cropping only adjusts the page boundary; it doesn't turn the page into an image, so text stays selectable and searchable.
Does cropping shrink the file size?
Not much — content outside the boundary is still in the file. If your goal is a smaller file, use the compress tool.
Is my file uploaded?
No — cropping runs in your browser; the document never leaves your device.
