Crop a PDF online for free
This free Crop PDF tool trims the margins or unwanted edges of a PDF directly in your browser. Open your file, drag the blue box over the part of the page you want to keep, resize it with the corner handles, and apply the crop to a single page or to the whole document. Then download the cropped PDF.
All cropping happens locally with JavaScript, so your document is never uploaded to a server and stays private. Cropping is done by adjusting the page boundaries, so text remains selectable and quality is unchanged — nothing is rasterized. It works on desktop and mobile and runs offline once loaded.
How to crop a PDF
Add your PDF, position and resize the crop box over the area to keep, choose This page or All pages, then press Crop and Download.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to crop it?
No. Cropping happens entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device or gets stored.
Will cropping reduce quality?
No. The crop changes the visible page boundary, so text stays selectable and images keep their resolution. Nothing is recompressed.
Can I crop only one page?
Yes. Choose This page to crop only the page you are viewing, or All pages to apply the same crop everywhere.
Can the cropped content come back?
Cropping hides content outside the box by changing the page box. For permanent removal of sensitive content, use a redaction tool instead.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. The crop box can be dragged and resized with touch on iPhone and Android.
