Crop PDF Pages
Crop PDF pages online — remove margins, white space, scanner shadows, or unwanted content from every page of a PDF without re-rendering or losing quality.
Why teams use Crop PDF
Cropping a PDF is the right answer when scans came in with wide white margins, when a page was over-sized for its content (A3 holding A4-worth of text), or when a printed-then-scanned document picked up shadows from the scanner bed at the edges. This tool lets you draw the crop box on a thumbnail, preview the result across every page, and apply it either to the page you're previewing or to all pages at once.
Crop modes include 'apply to all pages', 'apply to odd pages', 'apply to even pages' (useful for spread-style documents), and 'auto-detect content' which finds the smallest box containing all visible content and crops to it with a configurable margin. The crop is applied at the PDF page-object level rather than by re-rendering, so text and image quality stay perfect and the file size shrinks proportionally.
Used for tightening up scanned documents before printing, preparing pages for inclusion in a layout, removing letterhead from documents going into an archive, and standardising mixed-source bundles. Files run over TLS, are deleted within an hour, and never logged.
