Chosen pages

The box from the first page is applied to every page, or only the pages you list.

Hidden, not deleted

Content outside the box is hidden. The original stays inside the file.

Works in the browser

Use it from any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, or your phone.

When to draw the crop

Margin crop trims the same edge on every page. Draw a box when you need to keep one region, such as a form on a scanned sheet or a figure on a slide.

The box is a share of the page you see. A tall first page and a short later page each keep that same share. The box has to leave at least half an inch of the page.

To remove sensitive content permanently, use Redact PDF. The cropped PDF downloads immediately and nothing is stored on MyPDF.
