Draw Your Crop Box

Drag a box over the preview of your first page. The same relative area is applied to every page, even if pages vary slightly in size.

3

Download Your File

Every page is cropped and your finished PDF is ready to download.

Built for Precise, Consistent Cropping

Everything you need to trim a PDF down to size.

Enterprise Security

Your files are encrypted with 256-bit SSL and removed from our servers automatically after processing.

Visual Crop Selection

Draw the crop area directly on a preview of your page instead of guessing at coordinates.

Consistent Across Every Page

Your crop box is stored as a proportion of the page, so it applies consistently even if page sizes differ slightly within the same document.

Unlimited Usage

No file limits and no hidden fees. Crop as many PDFs as you need, in a single batch.

Non-Destructive Cropping

Cropping adjusts the visible page area without re-rendering or degrading the underlying content.

Cross-Platform

Works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices, with no software to install.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose what to crop?

Drag a box over the preview of your first page. Everything outside the box is trimmed away.

Does the same crop apply to every page?

Yes. The area you select on the first page is applied proportionally to every page in the document.

Can I crop different areas on different pages?

Not currently. One crop box is applied to the whole document. If pages need different crops, process them as separate files.

Can I crop multiple PDFs at once?

Yes. Upload several files and each one is cropped and returned together in a single zip download.

Does cropping delete content or just hide it?

Cropping changes the visible page boundary. Content outside the crop box is no longer displayed or printed.

Will cropping affect the text or image quality?

No. The content inside the crop area keeps its original resolution and quality.

Is it safe to upload confidential documents?

Yes. All uploads happen over an encrypted connection, and both the source file and the cropped PDF are automatically deleted from our servers after processing.

Is cropping a PDF really free?

Yes. There is no cost, no subscription, and no account required.
