How to crop a PDF
- Drop the PDF inDrop one PDF onto the box above.
- Set the trim on each edgeType how much to take off, as a percentage of the page, or nudge an edge a per cent at a time with the plus and minus buttons. A diagram beside the fields shows what is kept.
- Crop and downloadSelect Crop, then download the PDF. The same trim goes on every page, measured against each page’s own box.
Questions
Is the trimmed content deleted?
No. Cropping sets the visible box on the page; the content outside it is hidden, not removed. Treat this as tidying, not as redaction.
How do I actually remove what is outside the crop?
You cannot with this tool. Convert the cropped pages to images and build a new PDF from those, which discards everything not drawn.
What if pages are different sizes?
Margins are applied relative to each page’s own box, so a document mixing A4 and Letter crops sensibly rather than clipping one of them.
Does cropping reduce the file size?
Barely. The content is still in the file. Compressing afterwards will help more.
