Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Cropping runs in your browser, so the PDF is read and changed on your own device.
Is the cropped part really deleted?
Not by default. A normal crop sets the visible area of the page, so the page looks cropped but the hidden content is still inside the file. If you must remove it for good, for example a blacked-out area, tick Flattening Crop.
What does Flattening Crop do?
It turns each cropped page into a picture of the part you kept. The cut-away part is gone, but the text on those pages can no longer be selected or searched, and the file can get bigger.
Can I crop every page the same way?
Yes. Draw the frame on one page and tick Apply to all pages. The frame is applied as a share of each page, so pages of other sizes are cropped in the same proportion.
What about password protected PDFs?
They cannot be cropped as they are. If you know the password, unlock the file first with the Lock & Unlock PDF tool, then crop the unlocked copy.
