Crop PDF pages

Hide unwanted edges by adjusting the PDF CropBox. Original page data remains in the file; this is not secure redaction.

When to use it

  • Trim wide white margins for more comfortable viewing.
  • Keep an unchanged copy of the source file when creating edited documents.

How to use this tool

Set how many millimeters to hide from every edge of each PDF page. The crop box changes what compliant viewers normally display or print; it does not erase original page content.

Check the exported file

Compare the visible result in two PDF viewers. If you need to permanently remove confidential information, use a real redaction workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Does cropping permanently remove hidden information?

No. Cropped content can remain in the underlying PDF; this is not a security tool.

Can this change existing digital signatures?

Creating a rewritten PDF can invalidate existing digital signatures. Review any signed input before relying on the edited output.
