About Crop PDF

Wide white margins make PDFs hard to read on phones and e-readers, scanned pages often include the edge of the scanner bed, and sometimes you only want one region of a page. Add a PDF, drag the box over the area to keep on the page preview, and apply the same crop to every page, odd or even pages, or the pages you list. The page size is trimmed too, so printers and viewers use the new dimensions. Text stays sharp and selectable, because pages aren't re-rendered.

Questions

Is the cropped content deleted?

It's hidden, not erased: PDF cropping changes the visible page area. Don't rely on cropping to remove confidential information; it may still be in the file.

Can different pages have different crops?

Each run applies one crop area to the pages you choose. Crop odd and even pages separately for books with alternating margins.

Does it work on rotated pages?

Yes. The box is drawn on the page as you see it, and the crop is mapped to the page's rotation.

Does cropping reduce quality?

No. Pages aren't re-rendered, so text and images keep their original quality.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The PDF is cropped in your browser.
