Why crop a PDF?

Cropping PDFs is essential when documents have excessive margins, when you need to trim whitespace around content, adjust page sizes for different paper formats, remove headers or footers, or prepare documents for specific printing requirements. It helps create cleaner, more focused documents.

How to crop a PDF?

Upload your PDF file. Set the crop margins using the input fields — enter the number of points to trim from each side (72 points = 1 inch). Use the preset buttons for common sizes. Preview the crop area on the page thumbnail (the blue overlay shows the area that will be kept). Choose whether to apply the crop to all pages or just the current page. Download the cropped PDF.
