How to crop a PDF online for free

Choose a PDF, then enter the left and bottom offsets and the width and height in millimetres. The same visible crop rectangle is applied to every page. For an unrotated A4 page measuring 210 × 297 mm, a left and bottom offset of 10 mm with a width of 190 mm and height of 277 mm hides a 10 mm border on each side. Check that the rectangle fits every page before processing.

Crop a PDF or remove sensitive content?

Cropping changes the visible page boundary; content outside it remains in the PDF. Another editor may reveal that hidden content. Use cropping to adjust visible margins, not to redact private information. Mixed page sizes and rotated pages require careful review of the downloaded result.

Frequently asked questions

Does cropping a PDF delete the hidden content?

No. Cropping changes the visible page boundary. Hidden content can remain recoverable in another PDF editor, so cropping must not be used to redact confidential information.

Why does my crop cut off text on some pages?

Your PDF may contain pages with different sizes or rotations. A rectangle that fits one page may exclude content on another. Keep the original and review every page in the downloaded copy.
