Crop PDF Pages – Trim Margins and Whitespace
Trim away unwanted margins, headers, footers, or whitespace from your PDF. After uploading you'll see a preview of the first page — just drag and resize a crop box over the area you want to keep, then choose whether to apply it to every page or only the pages you pick. Download the cropped PDF when you're done. No sign-up and no watermarks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. You can apply the crop to every page, or switch to "selected pages" and list the page numbers you want cropped (for example
1, 3, 5). The same crop box is used for the pages you choose.Cropping sets the visible page area to your selection, so the trimmed-off parts no longer show. Like most PDF croppers, the underlying data outside the box may still exist in the file — so don't rely on cropping alone to hide sensitive information.
No. Cropping only adjusts the visible area of each page — the text and images inside stay at their original quality and remain selectable.
You set the crop box on the first page, and the same box (as a proportion of the page) is applied to the other pages you selected. It works best when your pages share the same size and layout.
