Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my files after cropping? ▼

Your files are uploaded to a temporary secure directory for processing. Once the cropped PDF is generated and sent to you, the original and processed files are permanently deleted from our server. We do not keep backups.

Does cropping reduce PDF file size? ▼

In most cases, cropping only hides the parts of the page you don't want to see (by adjusting the MediaBox/CropBox). The file size might remain similar. To reduce file size, please use our Compress PDF tool.

Can I crop different pages differently? ▼

Currently, our tool applies the selected crop area to all selected pages. This is perfect for documents with consistent layouts, like books or forms.

Is there a watermark on the output? ▼

No! We believe in free, professional tools. Your cropped PDF will be clean and free of any watermarks or branding.

Why can't I edit the text after cropping? ▼

Cropping changes the page view area but does not convert the PDF content. The text remains fully searchable and selectable, just like the original file.
