About the Crop PDF

Cropping fixes documents whose page boundaries are wrong for their purpose. Scans carry black borders and skewed edges from the platen. Documents converted from other formats arrive with excessive white margins. A slide deck printed to PDF wastes half the page on unusable space when it needs to go into a bundle.

This tool trims the page boundaries to the region you select, applying the change in your browser without any upload. The content itself is not re-rendered, so text stays searchable and images keep their original resolution.

It's part of the PDF collection on Toolzy, a growing platform of 135+ free, privacy-first tools built for speed and a great experience on every device.

Also known as: trim, margins, crop, pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does cropping delete the content outside the crop area?
Cropping adjusts the visible page boundary. Content outside it is no longer displayed or printed, but for genuinely removing sensitive material you should use Redact PDF, which flattens the page so the content cannot be recovered.
Can I crop only some pages?
Yes. Apply the crop across the whole document or to a selection, which is what you need when only the scanned section of a mixed document has borders to trim.
Will cropping reduce my file size?
Usually only slightly, because the underlying page data is retained rather than re-encoded. If size is the goal, use Compress PDF instead.
Is quality affected?
No. Cropping changes page boundaries rather than re-rendering content, so text stays searchable and images keep their original resolution.
Is my data private?
The Crop PDF runs entirely inside your browser. Your file is never uploaded, so there is nothing for us to store, log or delete, your data stays on your device from start to finish.
Is the Crop PDF free?
Yes, the Crop PDF is 100% free with no watermarks, no limits and no account needed.
Does it work on mobile?
