Crop a PDF

Trim wasteful margins or crop a scan down to its content: drag a box straight on the page and apply it to that page or the whole document.

Note the honest distinction: Crop hides what's outside the box (recoverable), it doesn't destroy it — for removal that must be permanent, use Redact.

Frequently asked questions

Can I crop all pages at once?
Yes — choose to apply the crop to the current page or to every page in the document.
Is cropped-out content really gone?
No. Crop hides content outside the box but it can still exist in the file. For genuine removal of sensitive content, use Redact.
Does cropping keep the text?
Yes, the text within the kept area stays selectable; only the visible page boundary changes.
