PDF Margin Cropper

Trim uniform margins from every page of a PDF

What is the PDF Margin Cropper?

The pdf margin cropper works like this: it applies a crop box N points inset from every page edge, shrinking the visible area while keeping the underlying content intact. Everything happens on your device - the input never leaves your tab unless the tool clearly states it performs a server-side lookup.

How to use the PDF Margin Cropper

1. Select your PDF.
2. Enter the crop margin in points (72pt = 1 inch / 2.54 cm).
3. Download the cropped PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Is cropped content really gone?

It is hidden, not deleted - the crop box only changes what viewers and printers show. For true redaction, remove the content itself.

Why points and not centimetres?

PDF geometry is defined in points; the tool shows the conversion so you can work in either unit mentally.

How does the crop inset work?

The crop box moves in by the points you set on each side - shrinking the visible area while the underlying content stays in the file (standard PDF crop behaviour).

Why crop instead of rescan?

Cropping removes scanner borders and uniform margins in seconds without any quality loss - the pixels are simply reframed.
