Frequently Asked Questions
Does cropping permanently remove content from the PDF?
The crop sets the visible area of each page. The hidden content is no longer displayed by PDF viewers, but the original data remains in the file. This is the same approach used by professional tools like Adobe Acrobat.
Can I crop different areas on different pages?
Yes. Switch to "Current page only" mode, navigate to each page, adjust the crop area, and apply separately for each page.
What is the maximum file size supported?
You can crop PDFs up to 100 MB with a maximum of 200 pages. Since everything runs in your browser, speed depends on your device.
Will this tool reduce my PDF file size?
Cropping hides content but does not remove the underlying data, so file size stays roughly the same. If you need a smaller file, use our Compress PDF tool after cropping.
Does cropping affect the text or images in my PDF?
No. The text and images remain intact. Only the visible boundary of each page is changed, so everything within the crop area stays exactly as it was.
