crop pdf online free

Cropping a PDF trims the visible page area from the top, right, bottom, and left edges, which is useful when a scanned document has wide unwanted borders, when a page was exported with extra white space, or when you specifically want to remove a header, footer, or margin element from every page.

This tool applies one consistent crop to every page in the document based on the margin values you set, rather than letting each page be cropped differently. This works well for documents where every page has a similar layout, which is the common case for scanned batches and exported reports, and it keeps the result predictable and consistent across the whole file.

Before committing to a crop, check the preview carefully, since cropping trims the actual visible page area, not just adds white space. Setting a margin too large can accidentally cut into real content near the edge of the page, which is easy to miss if you don't check the preview against a page that has content close to its borders.

Since every page gets the same margin values, look through a few different pages of your document, not just the first one, before finalizing. A margin that looks right on a mostly-empty title page might not be right on a page with content extending closer to the edges elsewhere in the same document.
