Crop PDF guide
Crop PDF tools help remove unwanted margins, blank space and visible page areas from PDF documents. This is useful for scanned pages, screenshots saved as PDFs, exported slides, forms and documents with large borders. A cropped PDF is easier to read and can look more professional when printed or shared.
Cropping changes the visible page area rather than simply reducing file size or removing pages. Use it to trim margins, focus on the useful part of a scan or prepare a cleaner document for printing and upload.
For additional cleanup, use Rotate PDF to correct orientation, Compress PDF to reduce file size, or Split PDF to extract selected pages from the document.
Best practices
- Keep a copy of the original PDF.
- Rotate pages before cropping if orientation is wrong.
- Use Compress PDF after cropping large documents.
- Preview the result before submitting important files.
