Drag to crop, see it live
Pull the crop handles right on the page. Everything outside the area dims and rule-of-thirds guides help you line the content up before you commit.
Crop PDF online — free and private
Crop PDF trims the margins of your document so the content fills the page. Drag a crop area directly on the page preview — everything outside it dims, so you see exactly what you keep. Remove wide white borders left by a scanner, cut off a running header or footer, or tighten oversized margins before printing.
Crop every page identically in one go, or switch to page-by-page mode to give each page its own crop — ideal for scans where the borders shift from page to page. The crop is written into the file using the PDF crop box, so it opens cropped in every viewer, and the whole thing runs in your browser so your document is never uploaded. To straighten sideways pages first, use Rotate PDF.

Why use PDF10x to crop pdf?
All pages or page by page
Apply one crop to the whole document, or crop each page individually when scans have uneven borders — and copy a good crop to every page with one click.
Non-destructive crop box
Cropping sets the PDF crop box rather than deleting content, so text and images stay intact and selectable underneath.

Frequently asked questions
Can I crop each page differently?
Yes. Switch to “Page by page” mode and each page keeps its own crop area — useful for scanned documents where the margins shift from page to page. If one page's crop suits the rest, click “Apply this crop to all pages” to copy it across.
Does cropping delete the content in the margins?
No. Cropping sets the PDF crop box, which hides the area outside the crop without removing it. The underlying content remains in the file, so the crop is reversible if you keep the original.
Do pages of different sizes crop correctly?
Yes. The crop area is stored relative to each page, so a mixed-size document crops proportionally rather than being cut at fixed measurements.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Cropping runs entirely in your browser. The file never touches a server, so there is nothing stored and nothing to delete afterwards.
