What is Our PDF Cropping Tool?
A powerful online utility that allows you to trim the margins and remove unwanted areas from your PDF pages quickly and securely.
Flexible & Precise Cropping
Our PDF Cropping tool gives you full control over how you define the crop area. You can visually select the area by clicking and dragging a resizable box directly on the page preview. For technical precision, you can input the exact coordinates (top, left, width, height) manually.
Additionally, you can use pre-defined aspect ratios like A4, Letter, or Square to ensure your crop area is perfectly proportioned. Apply your defined crop to the current page, all pages, or a specific range of pages in your document.

Best Free Cropping Tool Out There
I've tried a few other online croppers, but they were clunky or had ads everywhere. This one is genuinely free, fast, and does exactly what it promises. The coordinate inputs are great for my technical drawings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get instant answers to common questions about our PDF Cropping tool.
Is it safe to upload my documents to crop them?
Yes, it is 100% safe. Your privacy is our top priority. The entire cropping process happens locally in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring your data remains completely private.
Will cropping reduce the quality of my PDF?
No, cropping does not re-compress or alter the quality of the content within the selected area. The tool simply redefines the visible boundaries of the page, so all text, images, and graphics inside the crop box will retain their original quality.
Can I apply the same crop area to all pages of my document?
Absolutely. After defining your crop area on the preview, simply select the "All pages" option in the control panel before clicking the "Crop PDF" button. The exact same crop dimensions will be applied to every page in the document.
Can I undo a crop after I have downloaded the file?
The downloaded file is a new, permanently cropped version. To undo the crop, you would need to re-upload the original, uncropped PDF file and start over. We recommend keeping a copy of your original file.
What happens to my file after I'm done?
Since your file is never uploaded, it remains on your computer. The cropped PDF is generated in your browser, and you download a new copy. We never see, access, or store your original or cropped files.
