How to crop a PDF online

  1. Attach the PDF and choose the pages to crop.
  2. Set the top, right, bottom and left crop values.
  3. Review the visible page area and download the cropped PDF.

Crop versus redact

PDF cropping changes what a viewer displays, but it may not erase underlying objects outside the crop box. Never use cropping to hide confidential information. Use secure Redact PDF for sensitive content.

Documents with mixed page sizes

A single crop setting can affect portrait, landscape and differently sized pages in different ways. Review every page type before applying the crop to the full file.
