Crop the margins of a PDF

Enter a trim in millimetres and every page's visible area shrinks by that amount on all four edges — great for cutting scanner borders or oversized margins before printing.

Instant and stateless: the file is processed in memory and never stored.

How it works
  1. 1

    Upload your PDF.

  2. 2

    Enter the trim amount in millimetres (e.g. 10).

  3. 3

    Download the cropped PDF immediately.

Cropping adjusts the page's CropBox — the standard, reversible PDF mechanism every viewer honors.

Content is hidden, not destroyed: a PDF editor can restore the full page later if needed — honest by design.

PDF cropping hides margins rather than deleting them (that's how the format works). To permanently remove sensitive content, use Redact.

Crop PDF — questions

Different trim per edge?

This v1 trims all edges equally; per-edge control is on the roadmap.

Will it distort the page?

No — nothing is scaled; the visible window just gets smaller.
