How to use Crop PDF Pages
- Choose a PDF from your device. Your files are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded to our servers.
- Choose a page and drag its crop box. Switch pages to set a different crop for each one. Your settings are remembered when you switch back.
- Apply the crop and inspect the finished preview before downloading.
A closer look
Cropping changes the visible page boundary. For example, trimming 5% from the left and right keeps the middle 90% of that page’s width. Every page has independent settings, and pages you have not adjusted remain unchanged. Only selected pages receive their saved crops. Trim directions follow the orientation shown in the preview.
A practical example
Trim a wide left margin on page 1, then switch to page 2 and set a different crop. The first page keeps its saved box; untouched pages keep their original bounds.
A useful tip
Cropping only hides content outside the boundary. It does not erase it and must never be used to redact private information.
Good questions. Simple answers.
Can someone recover the cropped area?
Yes. A PDF editor may restore the original boundary. Use a dedicated secure redaction workflow for confidential information.
