About Crop PDF

Crop PDF lets you trim each margin independently — top, bottom, left, right — as a percentage. The crop is applied to the page CropBox so content is preserved and only the viewport changes.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload the PDF.

  2. 2

    Dial in the percentage to crop from each edge.

  3. 3

    Download the cropped PDF.

When to use it

1Is the trimmed content deleted?
No — the CropBox is moved, but the underlying content is retained and can be restored. Use the Flatten tool if you want the crop to be permanent.
