Area selectionDrag on the preview to set the area to keep; fine-tune with corner handles
ScopeThe same proportions are applied to every page of the document
Original keptContent outside the area is hidden; the original file stays untouched

💡 Trimming margins and unwanted areas

Whether a scan has wide margins or captures parts you don't want, selecting just the area to keep makes a document look much cleaner.

✨ How to crop the exact area you want

🔒 Is the cropped-out area gone for good?

Yes. Cropping permanently removes everything outside the selected area when it saves. If you want to keep the original, make a copy of the file before cropping.

Frequently asked questions

What if pages have different sizes?
The ratio set on the preview (first page) is applied to every page — differently-sized pages are cropped by that same ratio.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens inside your browser.
How do I trim just the margins?
Drag the selection to the content edges on the preview — the margins are removed on every page at once.
Can I crop pages differently?
The same ratio applies to all pages. For different crops per page, split the document first and crop each part.
