Why pdf2kit
Crop a PDF without uploading it
A contract, a payslip or a scan often needs a quick trim - cut the margins, keep one figure, drop a messy edge. That should not mean sending the file to a stranger's server. pdf2kit crops right on your own device: on a PDF page the crop is a crop box, so the text stays real and selectable; an image or scan is trimmed as a picture. It is free, with no account and no watermark, and the crop is per page and never baked in until you download.
FAQ
Crop PDF: Common questions
Does cropping keep the text?
On a PDF page, yes. The crop is a crop box, so the viewer shows only the part you kept and the real text stays selectable and searchable. An image or a scan is a picture, so it is trimmed to the box you drew.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The whole thing happens in the page on your device. Your file never leaves your computer, so it stays private.
Can I crop just one page?
Yes. The crop is per page, so you can crop one page and leave the others untouched, or crop several pages differently.
Does crop work together with rotate?
Yes. You can rotate a page and then crop it; the box you draw follows the page as you see it on screen.
What can I crop?
PDF pages and images (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP). Drop a file, open a page, and the Crop button is in the page toolbar.
Can I undo a crop?
Yes. Use Reset in the crop bar to clear it, or Undo in the workspace. A crop is never baked in until you download.
