Crop PDF Pages
Set a visual CropBox on selected PDF pages with a live margin preview
About this tool
Crop PDF Pages changes the displayed page boundary by setting a CropBox on selected pages. Enter top, right, bottom, and left margins in points, millimeters, or inches, specify a page range, and inspect a first-page overlay before export. The tool preserves the original page content and vectors; objects outside the CropBox remain in the file and may reappear if another viewer changes the page box. This is page-box editing, not irreversible pixel cropping or OCR.
Scenario Recipes
Remove scanner margins from a range
Goal: Make displayed pages fit the document content without flattening it
- Open the scan and select the affected page range.
- Set unit and margins while checking the overlay on page one.
- Export the copy and inspect it in the target PDF reader because CropBox behavior can vary.
Result: A page-box-adjusted PDF that keeps original content and text layers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does CropBox delete content outside the crop?
No. It changes the displayed page boundary; content remains in the PDF object streams.
Can I crop only selected pages?
Yes. Use comma-separated pages and ranges such as 1-3,5.
Which units are supported?
Points, millimeters, and inches are supported and converted to PDF points locally.
Does the preview show every page?
The lightweight preview shows page one; the selected range receives the same margins during export.
Will links and text remain usable?
Yes. The tool edits page boxes without rasterizing page content or intentionally removing annotations.
Is the PDF uploaded?
No. Preview, CropBox edits, and download creation happen locally.
