About Crop PDF
Adjust the visible margins on selected PDF pages using percentages measured along each page's unrotated axes. The crop changes the visible page boundary without rasterizing the page. Hidden content remains in the PDF, so this is not a secure way to remove sensitive information. Review rotated pages carefully.
Crop PDF runs locally without uploading your selected file or requiring an account. Although file selection allows up to 1 GB, available device memory can limit this particular task.

Common questions
Can I crop selected pages instead of the whole PDF?
Yes. All pages are selected initially. Clear any pages you want to leave unchanged before applying the crop.
How are PDF crop margins measured?
Top, right, bottom and left are percentages of each page's current visible box along its unrotated axes. Each margin accepts 0 to 45 percent. On rotated pages, these axes may differ from the direction shown on screen.
Does cropping a PDF permanently erase hidden words?
No. It changes the visible page boundary. Content outside the boundary remains in the file and may be recovered. Do not use cropping to hide sensitive information.
Does Crop PDF turn text into an image?
No. Original page content and selectable text remain. Review the output preview to check that important words are still visible.
Can I preview the cropped PDF?
Yes. Apply crop to see the actual saved PDF, then choose Change selection to adjust margins using the original document.
Does Crop PDF process my document in the browser?
Yes. Your PDF stays on your device. There is no server fallback or conversion credit usage.
Will cropping reduce PDF file size?
Not necessarily. Hidden content remains. Use Compress PDF if file size is your main concern.
Can I crop a scanned PDF?
Yes. The visible page boundary changes without recognizing or rewriting the scanned words. Use Rotate PDF first if a scan faces sideways.
Does Crop PDF upload my file for processing?
Your selected file stays on this device while Crop PDF runs. There is no file upload for this operation, although its memory demands can still exceed a phone or computer's available resources.
Can I process several files with Crop PDF?
Crop PDF opens one PDF for the selected page changes. Save that document before starting the same operation on another PDF.
