Trim a PDF down to what matters
Drag one box over the area you want to keep and everything outside it is trimmed away — on every page, or just the current one. Wide scanner margins, binder-hole edges, the empty half of a slide handout: gone in a couple of seconds, with a live preview so you can see exactly where the cut lands.
Cropping adjusts each page’s crop box, the setting every PDF reader uses to decide what to display and print. The page content itself is not re-rendered or re-compressed, so text stays selectable and images stay sharp.
What cropping is — and is not
Because only the visible area changes, the full page is still stored inside the file, and tools that reset the crop box can bring the trimmed parts back. That makes cropping the right tool for tidying layouts, and the wrong tool for hiding confidential information — for that, cover the content with a black box in Edit PDF so it is actually painted over.
Like every ShyPDF tool, cropping runs in your browser; the file is never uploaded.
Questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs inside your browser, so your files never leave your device. Close the tab and nothing is left behind.
Is the cropped content deleted?
No — cropping changes which area of the page is displayed, but the full page stays inside the file and other tools can restore it. To permanently hide something confidential, cover it with a black box in Edit PDF instead.
Can I crop each page differently?
Choose “This page only”, crop it, then run the tool again for the next page. “All pages” applies the same box everywhere, which suits scanned books and slide handouts.
