Drag the crop handles to define your trim area, then download the cropped PDF. Apply to one page or all pages at once.
Drag crop handles on any page — then download your trimmed PDF
A PDF cropper adjusts the visible area of each page in a PDF by moving the page boundary inward, hiding content outside the new boundary. The most common use is removing unwanted white margins from scanned documents, cropping scanner borders, or trimming a full-bleed PDF to a specific printable size.
Cropping is non-destructive by default in PDF: the content outside the crop boundary is hidden but still present in the file. If you need to permanently remove that content — for privacy or file size reasons — EditPDF AI offers a flatten option that burns the crop into the page. All cropping runs locally in your browser.
Common ways people use this tool in real documents and day-to-day workflows.
Remove the black border or excess white margin that a scanner adds around the edges of every scanned page.
Crop a PDF to a specific size for print production — trimming bleed marks or adjusting the page to the final trim size.
Crop a wide PDF (landscape textbook pages, wide spreadsheets) to remove side margins so it displays better on a narrow screen or tablet.
Crop specific areas from a large-format PDF — diagrams, maps, or product images — to extract just the portion needed for presentations or handouts.
Select the PDF with pages you want to crop. You can apply the same crop to all pages or set a different crop for each page.
Drag the handles on the crop overlay to define the area to keep. The live preview shows exactly how the cropped page will look.
