How to Crop Scanned PDF Black Borders

Remove the black borders and scanning artifacts from scanned PDF documents. Free crop tool.

Flatbed scanners often produce black borders around the document edge. FixMyPDF's crop tool removes them uniformly across all pages.

Steps

Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/crop-pdf. Upload your scanned PDF. Drag the crop frame inward on all four sides to eliminate the black borders. Apply to all pages. Download.

Uniform vs Per-Page

If the black border width is consistent (same scanner settings used throughout), apply one crop setting to all pages. If it varies, crop each page individually.
