Crop PDF

pdfty's crop tool trims PDF pages down to the area you actually want. Drag a crop box on the page preview, apply it to one page or every page, and download the result. It's the fastest way to cut oversized margins, remove scanner edges and hole-punch shadows, or isolate a single figure from a page.

Cropping also makes PDFs dramatically more readable on e-readers and tablets: trimming whitespace lets the text render larger without zooming and panning. For scanned documents, cutting the dark edges scanners leave behind gives a much cleaner look when printing or sharing.

The crop is applied with pikepdf by adjusting each page's crop box — a lossless operation that never re-renders your content. Text stays sharp and searchable, and the full original page data remains inside the file, so the operation is standards-compliant and reversible with the right tools. Free for files up to 20 MB and 50 pages, no watermark, no signup. Files are permanently deleted within 1 hour.
