Crop PDF pages: cut out specific areas or trim borders
1 min read·25 July 2026
Want to keep a specific part of a PDF page? Or trim an oversized scan to the desired format? PDFrust's crop tool lets you precisely trim any page.
When to crop?
Cropping is used for: removing large white borders from scanned documents, cutting out a logo or image from a larger document, adjusting the visible area of a page without deleting content, or equalising inconsistent page dimensions.
Difference from adjusting margins
Margin adjustment adds or removes whitespace uniformly. Cropping lets you set a specific rectangular area per page: you can crop asymmetrically (e.g. only the top of every page).

How it works
Upload the PDF and select the area you want to keep by dragging on the page preview. Set the coordinates, or let PDFrust automatically detect white borders with the "Auto-trim" option.
All pages or specific pages
You can apply the same crop to all pages at once (useful for consistent scanned documents), or set a different crop area per page.
Not irreversible in the original
The cropped PDF is a new file, your original is not changed. If you cropped it incorrectly, upload the original again and try again.
