Inset the visible boundary of selected pages
Choose a PDF, optionally specify pages, and enter the number of PDF points to remove from each edge. Seventy-two points equal one inch. Select Crop PDF, download the result, and inspect every affected edge. Leave the page field blank to apply the same crop to all pages.
Cropping changes the viewing window
This tool changes each page’s crop box. It does not rescale content or necessarily erase objects outside the new boundary. PDF viewers and printers normally show only the cropped region, making the operation useful for excess scanner borders, uniform presentation margins, or isolating a region for ordinary viewing.
Worked example
A scanner left half-inch white borders around ten letter pages. Enter 36 points for top, right, bottom, and left, leave pages blank, and crop. The visible area becomes one inch narrower and one inch shorter overall. Check page ten carefully: scanner placement can drift, so a uniform crop that fits page one may clip later pages.
Points, inches, and mixed sizes
PDF coordinates use points, with 72 points per inch. A 36-point inset is half an inch. The same numeric margins apply to each chosen page even when the document mixes Letter, A4, portrait, and landscape pages. Review mixed-size documents especially closely.
Privacy and reversibility
Crop settings are applied locally and the original file is untouched. Keep that original because this interface does not include an undo history after download. Some PDF software can reveal objects beyond a crop box, so cropping is not a safe redaction method.
Limitations and assumptions
This version uses numeric margins rather than a visual drag box. It does not inspect whitespace, automatically find content, resize pages, or remove hidden data outside the visible area. Excessive margins are rejected when they would remove the entire page. Existing bleed, trim, art, or media boxes are not normalized. Signatures may become invalid after saving.
Crop PDF FAQ
Does crop permanently delete hidden content?
Not necessarily. Never use cropping as redaction.
Can I crop only certain pages?
Yes. Enter numbers and ranges such as 1, 3-5.
Why use points?
Points are the standard coordinate unit stored by PDF pages.
