Crop the visible margins of a PDF
Reduce visible white space or adjust a page's displayed boundaries by cropping its margins. This browser-based tool changes the PDF CropBox rather than deleting everything outside it. Hidden content still exists in the file, so cropping must never be used to remove confidential information.

Cropping changes visible margins. It does not permanently remove hidden content. Use Redact PDF to remove sensitive content.
When this tool helps
- Trim broad white borders around a handout for easier on-screen reading.
- Adjust the visible framing of a page before including it in a packet.
Questions and practical limits
Is content outside the cropped page permanently removed?
No. It remains in the PDF outside the displayed crop area and may be recoverable or visible in another workflow. Cropping is a presentation change only.
Can I crop away a name or account number before sharing?
Do not use cropping for that purpose. Use an appropriate redaction process or remove the entire page, then verify that sensitive information is absent from the output.
