Frequently asked questions

Does cropping delete the content outside the area?

No. Cropping changes the visible area of each page (its crop box). The hidden content is still in the file and can be brought back with editing software, so don't use cropping to remove sensitive information.

Can I crop each page differently?

The tool applies the same margins to every page. To crop one page differently, extract it with Split PDF, crop it, and put it back with Merge PDF.

Does cropping reduce quality or file size?

Quality stays the same, because text and images aren't touched. The file size also stays about the same, because the content outside the area is hidden rather than removed.

Is my file uploaded to crop it?

No. The crop is applied in your browser with pdf-lib, and the file never leaves your device.

How it works

From file to finished PDF in three steps

1

Pick a tool

Open any of the 17 tools above and drop in your file — no account, no install, and no upload screen to wait on.

2

Processed on your device

Your browser does the actual work using WebAssembly and JavaScript (pdf-lib, pdf.js), the same technology behind offline apps. The file itself never leaves your computer.

3

Download the result

As soon as processing finishes, your browser triggers a normal file download. Nothing is stored on our end — there's no server copy to delete because one was never made.
