How to: Crop PDF
- Select your PDF.
- Enter how much to trim from each side.
- Click Start and download.
Scanned pages and exported slides often have wide margins or unwanted borders. Cropping trims the visible page area, making documents easier to read on phones and e-readers and tidier when printed.
Common uses
- Remove wide white margins for easier reading on a phone or tablet.
- Cut off scanner borders and shadows.
- Focus on a chart or figure for a presentation.
Tips for best results
- Measure on one page and apply to all if pages share the same layout.
- Cropping hides content but does not delete it – use Redact PDF for sensitive content.
- After cropping, Change Page Size can fit content back to A4 or Letter.
