How to crop PDF pages online
Upload a PDF, define the visible page area and apply the crop to the pages you need.
Upload your PDF
Choose one PDF up to 200 MB and 2,000 pages and load the document into the crop workspace.
Adjust the crop area
Move or resize the crop rectangle, select a preview page and fine-tune the edge margins numerically if needed.
Choose pages and download
Apply the crop to all or selected pages, create the new PDF and preview the result before downloading.
Temporary processing with automatic cleanup
Uploaded and cropped files are stored temporarily only to complete the job. Normal completed results remain available for up to 10 minutes and are then removed automatically.
Cropping is not redaction
The crop changes the visible page area. Content outside that area may still exist inside the PDF and should not be treated as securely erased.
Delete result when finished
Use Delete result after downloading if you want to request removal before the automatic cleanup time.

Trim PDF margins and focus the visible page area
PDFPA Crop PDF is designed for scanned documents, exports with excessive whitespace and pages that need a cleaner visible frame. The visual crop workspace lets you define the page area directly instead of guessing values before seeing the document.
Crop visually or enter precise edge margins
Use the movable crop rectangle to frame the part of the page you want to remain visible. Drag inside the rectangle to reposition it, or drag an edge handle to resize the crop area. When the same adjustment needs to be repeated accurately, enter top, right, bottom and left margin percentages in the controls.
A selectable preview page helps when different pages have different layouts, while page-selection controls determine which pages receive the crop. Unselected pages keep their original visible area and page size, so a document can be adjusted selectively rather than forcing one crop onto every page.
Understand the difference between cropping and secure redaction
Cropping changes the visible page boundaries without intentionally rasterizing the PDF content. It is useful for trimming margins, hiding scanner edges or focusing the displayed page area, but content outside the cropped region may still exist internally in the PDF. Do not use cropping as a method for permanently removing confidential information; a dedicated redaction workflow is required for that purpose.
Crop PDF currently requires no account or subscription and has no daily crop quota. Each job accepts one PDF up to 200 MB and up to 2,000 pages, together with normal anti-abuse protections. Completed results are temporary and normally remain available for up to 10 minutes before automatic cleanup.
