Crop PDF Pages Online — Free

PDF cropping removes unwanted margins, headers, footers, or whitespace from your documents, allowing you to focus on the essential content. This is particularly valuable when working with scanned documents that have excessive borders or when you need to extract a specific region from each page.

The visual crop interface displays your PDF pages and lets you drag handles to define the exact crop area. You can apply the same crop to all pages for consistent results or adjust each page individually when dealing with documents that have varying layouts. The preview function shows exactly how your cropped pages will appear before you commit to the changes.

Researchers crop journal articles to remove publisher headers and page numbers before adding to reference libraries. E-reader users crop PDFs to maximize screen real estate on tablets and smartphones. Designers crop PDF portfolios to create consistent presentation layouts. Office workers crop scanned documents to remove scanner artifacts and excessive margins before archiving.

The cropping process modifies the PDF's media box and crop box properties, effectively hiding content outside the specified area. The original content remains in the file but is not displayed, which means you can further adjust cropping in compatible PDF editors. For smaller file sizes, we offer an option to permanently remove cropped content.
