About Crop PDF

Crop PDF trims margins from every page. Enter how many millimetres to remove from the top, right, bottom and left.

It is a quick way to remove excess white space, scanner borders or unwanted edges.

When to use Crop PDF

  • Remove wide margins so text appears larger on a small screen.
  • Cut dark scanner borders around a page.
  • Trim pages to a consistent size.

Tips for the best result

  • Start with small values, such as 5 to 10 mm, and check the result.
  • The same margins are applied to every page, so check a document with varying layouts.
