Crop PDF Files Online for Free
Sometimes specific parts of a PDF page are all you need, or maybe you need to remove unsightly margins to unclutter your document. Our Crop PDF tool allows you to select exactly which area of a page you want to keep and discards the rest. Whether you are resizing a document for printing, removing header/footer information, or focusing on a specific table or chart, our intuitive cropper makes it simple.
Why Crop PDF Files?
Cropping is more than just trimming edges; it's about refining your document's presentation:
- Cleaner Presentation: Remove scanning artifacts, dark borders, or unnecessary white space to make your document look professional.
- Focus on Content: Highlight specific areas like receipts, graphs, or text blocks by cropping out everything else.
- Print Optimization: Adjust page sizes to fit specific printing requirements, such as printing a label or a card on standard paper.
- Consistent Layout: Apply the same crop area to all pages to ensure uniformity across your entire document.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this PDF cropper free?
Yes, our Crop PDF tool is completely free. You can use it as often as you like without any hidden costs.
Can I undo a crop if I make a mistake?
Since the cropping happens in steps, you can simply reset the crop box or re-upload your file if you aren't happy with the selection before downloading.
Does it affect the text quality?
No, cropping only changes the visible page area (media box). The underlying resolution of the text and images inside the crop area remains unchanged.
Is it safe to use?
Absolutely. We prioritize your security by processing files locally on your computer. Your documents are never transmitted to us.
Can I crop multiple pages at once?
Yes! You can define a crop area on one page and choose to apply that same crop to every page in the document with a single click.
Do I need to install anything?
No software installation is needed. Our tool runs entirely in your web browser and works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile.
