What is the PDF Crop Tool

This browser-based PDF Crop Tool lets users visually select and extract a portion of any single PDF page, creating a cropped version as a downloadable PDF. It’s designed for precise, user-guided adjustments and is especially useful when only a specific section of a page is needed—such as graphs, scanned forms, or document excerpts.

Why Use This Tool

There are many scenarios where only part of a PDF page is required:

• Extracting graphs, signatures, or stamps
• Isolating regions from scanned pages
• Creating slide-sized images from document pages
• Cropping watermarked or header/footer areas

With its intuitive interface, the tool offers full control over output size and content without requiring additional software.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it support cropping multiple pages at once? Not yet. Cropping is currently done one page at a time for precision.

What happens to the rest of the PDF? Only the cropped portion of the selected page is kept. No original data is stored.

Is the crop accurate? Yes—the cropper reflects actual pixel dimensions from the rendered PDF, ensuring accuracy.

Can I use this offline? If the page is already loaded, yes. All functions are in-browser with no server processing.

Is my PDF stored or uploaded? No. Your file stays entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.

Why We Built This Tool

Most PDF croppers require installation or subscriptions—and many lack intuitive visual controls. We built this tool to offer precision cropping, clean design, and complete privacy—without any software downloads or learning curve.
