Set the visible page boundary precisely

Drag the crop edges or move the crop selection directly over the page. The numeric margins are measured in PDF points, with 72 points per inch. The preview uses unrotated page coordinates so that the top, bottom, left and right values correspond to the crop box written into the PDF. Inspect differently sized pages before applying one set of margins to all of them.

Cropping does not erase information

Cropping changes the visible boundary, not the underlying page content. Text and images outside that boundary may remain recoverable. For confidential content, use the dedicated redaction workflow and inspect the result rather than relying on cropping.

Using Crop PDF

Crop by margins in points, where 72 points equal one inch. Cropping hides content outside the boundary; it does not securely remove it.

  1. Open the PDF.
  2. Enter margins in points and the affected page range.
  3. Download and check that no useful content is hidden.

Limits and checks

Up to 250 pages per input PDF and 100 MB per batch. Encrypted or malformed files may not open.

Frequently asked questions

Is cropping a safe way to hide confidential text?

No. Cropping changes the visible boundary. Hidden content may remain in the file; use the dedicated redaction tool for a rebuilt copy.

Is my content sent to a server?

No. Processing runs inside your browser. Optional editor recovery saves a draft on this device only. Read the privacy policy.

Will my original file be changed?

No. Downloaded results are separate copies. Open the finished output before sharing it or deleting an original.
