Crop PDF

Cut off excess margins and ugly black borders for document pages

When you scan books, newspapers, invoices or old documents, the edges around the page are often covered with annoying black streaks because the scanner lid is not pressed tightly. Or many text documents have white margins that are too wide, causing the text to shrink, making it difficult to read when opened on a phone screen or Kindle reader. If printed on paper, these black streaks also waste a lot of ink.

iTools's Crop PDF tool provides precise frame cropping, helping your document become neat, clean, and fully focused on the core content.

Outstanding advantages when cropping PDF margins at iTools

• Intuitive drag and drop selection box (Interactive Crop Box): You just need to use the mouse to drag the 4 corners of the frame around the text you want to keep. Any excess margin outside the frame will be automatically trimmed accurately.
• Apply flexibly according to needs: You can choose to crop only the current page or automatically apply the same crop size to all pages in the file.
• Perfect optimization for e-readers: Cropping close to the white margin helps the font size automatically maximize on the screen of the iPad or e-reader, providing the most comfortable reading experience.
• Does not break the text: The cropping process only restores the display area of the page (CropBox) without compressing the content, preserving 100% of the original sharpness.
