Crop PDF Online — Draw a Box to Trim Margins, Free
A phone-scanned document with a thick grey border on every side. A slide deck exported to PDF with acres of empty space around each slide. A report where you only want the chart on page 9, not the whole page. These are the moments a real Crop PDF tool earns its keep: you shouldn’t have to re-print, re-scan or open desktop software just to trim the edges off a page.
Most online croppers ask you to type four margin numbers and hope. This one shows you the page and lets you draw the crop: drag a box over the area you want to keep, check it on the preview, and apply it to every page or to the current page only. It stays exact on rotated pages and runs entirely in your browser, so your PDF is never uploaded.
How to Crop a PDF in 4 Steps
1. Upload Your PDF
Drag and drop a PDF of up to 100 MB. The first page appears as a preview straight away; use Prev and Next to move between pages.
2. Draw the Crop Box
Click and drag over the page to mark the area you want to keep. Everything outside the box is shaded, so you see exactly what will be cut. Reset crop starts again.
3. All Pages or One Page
Choose Apply to All Pages to use the same box on every page, or Apply to Current Page Only to crop pages one at a time, each with its own box.
4. Crop and Download
Click Apply Crop & Download. The cropped PDF is built on your device and saved to your computer, with the pages cropped and the new file size shown.
Why Use This PDF Cropper
See Before You Crop
The crop is drawn on the real page with the area to be removed shaded, instead of guessing with margin numbers.
Exact on Rotated Pages
Your box is mapped to each page’s true PDF coordinates, so the crop lands where you drew it even on pages rotated 90° or 270°.
Mixed Page Sizes
The box is stored relative to the page, so a document that mixes page sizes is cropped proportionally on every page.
No Quality Loss
Cropping changes only the page boundaries: text stays selectable, images stay sharp and vector graphics stay crisp. Nothing is re-compressed.
Private by Design
The cropper runs in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
Free, No Signup
No signup and no watermark: 2 free tasks a day without an account, 3 with a free account.
Common Reasons to Crop a PDF
- Scanned documents: cut the grey border from a phone or flatbed scan so the page is all content.
- Slides and presentations: trim the empty space around exported slides so they read comfortably on a phone.
- Reports and charts: crop down to a single figure, table or chart to drop into a document, email or deck.
- Print proofs: remove crop marks and registration marks from a press-ready PDF before sharing a clean proof.
- Tablets and e-readers: shave oversized margins so more of each page fits on the screen.
