Trim margins and crop the visible area of pages.
Trim margins and crop the visible area of pages. Crop PDF runs entirely in your web browser, so your file is processed on your own device and is never uploaded to MyPDFMate.
Answers to the questions people ask most about using Crop PDF.
Open Crop PDF on MyPDFMate, upload your file, drag the crop box over the page preview (or set the margins) and click Crop PDF. The crop is applied to every page.
Yes. Crop PDF is free, needs no sign-up and runs in any browser.
Crop PDF applies the same crop to every page. To crop one page, extract it, crop it, and recombine the document with Merge PDF.
To keep only one area of every page, drag the crop box around it in Crop PDF. To hide a section in the middle of a page instead, cover it with Redact PDF.
No. Cropping hides it by changing the visible page area, but the hidden content stays in the file. To remove sensitive content, see Redact PDF.
After cropping, convert the file with PDF to JPG and back with JPG to PDF. Only the visible area is kept, so the hidden parts are gone for good.
No. The page isn't re-rendered; only the visible area changes.
Drag the crop box to the edge of your content in Crop PDF. Every page gets the same trimmed margins.
Use Crop PDF in any browser on either system. Windows has no built-in PDF cropper; on a Mac, Preview can crop too: drag a selection on the page and choose Tools → Crop.
The file is usually password-protected or restricted against changes. Remove the password with Unlock PDF first (you'll need to know it). If the file won't load at all, try Repair PDF.
Cropping hides content rather than deleting it, so the file size stays about the same. Use Compress PDF to reduce the size.
No. Cropping happens in your browser, and your PDF stays on your device.
