How to Crop a PDF Page

Cropping a PDF page comes up more than you'd expect — trimming oversized margins from a scanned document, cutting away a stray column of a webpage that got printed to PDF along with the content you actually wanted, or removing a footer that repeats on every page and gets in the way when the pages are viewed digitally rather than printed.

Steps

  1. Open the PDF Crop Tool and upload your file.
  2. Adjust the crop boundary on the page preview.
  3. Choose whether to apply the crop to just one page or all of them — useful if every page in the document has the same unwanted margin or footer to trim.
  4. Download the cropped result.

A quick check before applying to every page

If a PDF's pages don't all share exactly the same layout, a single crop setting applied to every page can clip content on pages where the margins were actually different — worth spot-checking a few pages spread through the document, not just the first one, before applying a batch crop across the whole file.
