Crop pages

Adjust the visible area of each page and remove unwanted margins — drag directly on the preview or set exact values.

Everything happens in your browser — the PDF never leaves your computer. "Visual" cropping only adjusts the visible/printable area (CropBox), keeping the page's original physical size; "physical" cropping also adjusts the actual page size (MediaBox), so the result appears already cropped in any reader or printer. In both cases, no PDF content is removed — only the visible area changes.

Frequently asked questions

Does cropping a page delete the content outside the selected area?

Content outside the crop area is no longer visible or printed, but technically it just sits outside the page's "crop box" — what matters for you is that, in practice, it no longer appears.

Can I apply the same crop to all pages at once?

Yes, you can set a single crop value and apply it to every page in the document, or adjust page by page if the margins vary.

What is this usually useful for?

It's often used to remove excess blank margins before printing, trim scanning marks at the edges, or isolate just one specific part of a wider page.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens inside your own browser — the file never leaves your computer or passes through any external server. You can confirm this by disconnecting from the internet once the page has loaded: the tool keeps working normally.

Do I need to create an account or pay anything?

No. PDFsy doesn't ask for sign-up, an account or payment — just open the page and use the tool.

Is PDFsy an alternative to iLovePDF?

Yes. PDFsy offers PDF tools equivalent to iLovePDF's — merge, convert, compress, protect and much more — available in 25 languages, with no usage limits, no need to create an account, and 100% local processing in your browser, without uploading any file to any server.
