Crop PDF for recruiters
Updated July 2026
Arthize lets recruiting and talent teams crop a PDF in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Cropping a PDF trims the margins or unwanted edges of pages, so scans and oversized layouts fit cleanly on screen and in print.
Why recruiters crop a PDF
A recruiter merges shortlisted resumes into one packet for the hiring manager, redacts contact details for a blind first review, and sends the offer letter for signature.
Built for resumes. Whether it's resumes, shortlists, offer letters, Arthize's crop pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Candidate data is personal; a private workspace keeps resumes and notes confidential.
What matters when you crop a PDF
Cropping changes the visible page box without deleting page content permanently.
It is useful for tightening scans with wide margins.
You can apply the same crop across every page.
