Crop PDF

Trim margins by dragging a rectangle over the page, or let Kaagazly detect the content edges for you.

Why crop a PDF?

Scanned pages carry black borders, printer margins and the corner of a photo of a page. Cropping removes that waste without re-scanning, and without deleting anything unless you ask it to.

Draw a rectangle on the page to set the crop area exactly

Auto-detect the content edges so a batch needs no manual work

Apply the same crop to the whole document, or to the pages you name

Cropping hides the margins — nothing is deleted unless you ask

Text stays selectable, and bookmarks and links survive

Original content is preserved at full resolution under the crop

Frequently Asked Questions

Does cropping delete content, or just hide it?

It hides it. The cropped area is removed from what renders, but the source file is never modified and nothing is destroyed unless you explicitly ask for a hard crop.

Can I crop different pages by different amounts?

Yes. Crop the whole document in one pass, or set the range you care about and leave the rest untouched.

Will cropping make my text unreadable or drop characters?

Only if the rectangle cuts through real content. Text that stays inside the box is unaffected and remains fully selectable.
