Best For

Trimming excess white margin or a header/footer strip off every page of a PDF before printing or sharing it.

Common Uses

•Removing a wide white border left over from a scan
•Tightening up a PDF exported from another program with extra margin
•Cutting off a repeated header or footer strip before printing
•Making a page fit better into a slide, template, or bound document

💡 Pro Tip

Start with a small margin like 5% and check the preview before going tighter — it's one uniform crop applied to every page, so make sure nothing important sits near the edge on any page.

📖Crop PDF Guide

Trims the margins or whitespace off every page of a PDF, using a percentage-based crop applied evenly across all pages.

When to use this

Use this to remove excess white border around a scanned document, tighten up a PDF exported with wide margins, or cut off a footer/header strip you don't need before printing or sharing.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. 1Upload your PDF A preview of page 1 shows what the crop will look like.
  2. 2Set the crop margins Use a preset (Trim margins, Tight crop) or enter exact top/right/bottom/left percentages — the preview updates as you adjust them.
  3. 3Crop and download The same crop is applied to every page, and the cropped PDF downloads immediately.

Tips for best results

  • ✓The crop is one set of margins applied to all pages — if pages have very different content positions, check the preview carefully since it only shows page 1.
  • ✓Start with a small margin (5%) and increase it if you're not sure how much whitespace is safe to remove — you can always re-crop from the original.
  • ✓Cropping trims the visible page area itself, so make sure nothing you need — a signature, a footer, a page number — sits inside the margin you're removing.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • ⚠Setting a margin so large it would leave nothing on the page — the tool blocks this and asks you to reduce the numbers.
  • ⚠Cropping without checking the preview first and accidentally cutting off content near the edge of the page.
  • ⚠Assuming the crop is per-page — it's one uniform set of margins applied to every page in the document, not an individually adjusted crop.
