Crop PDF
Crop PDF pages to cut away wide margins, scanner edges or anything outside the part you need. The crop shows the same in every viewer.
This opens the PDFDEN editor with crop pdf ready. You can do the rest of your changes there too, then save once.
How to crop PDF
Drop your PDF into the box.
Drag a crop box on the page preview, or type the margins.
Apply it to the current page or to all pages.
Save and download the cropped PDF.
Crop PDF pages by dragging or by the numbers
Dragging is quickest when you can see what to keep. Typed margins are better when every page needs the same trim.
Apply the crop to all pages or just the one on screen. The crop PDF guide has tips for scans with uneven edges.
A crop that sticks
PDFDEN sets both the CropBox and the MediaBox, so every viewer and printer shows the cropped area, not the old page size. To change the paper size instead of trimming it, use Resize PDF. Cropping does not hide sensitive content for good: use Redact PDF for that.

Frequently asked questions
How do I crop a PDF?
Drop the PDF here, drag a box over the area to keep, and save. You can apply it to one page or all pages.
Can I crop just one page of a PDF?
Yes. Choose to apply the crop to the current page only.
Is it free to crop a PDF online?
Yes. There is no signup or watermark, and the file is processed in your browser.
Does cropping make the PDF smaller?
Not really, since the page content is kept. To cut file size, use Compress PDF.
Is cropped content gone for good?
No. Cropping changes what is shown. To remove private content permanently, use Redact PDF.
