When to crop a PDF

Automatic margin detection

"Detect margins" looks at the page and draws the frame tightly around text and images with a small safety margin. Turn on "Detect margins on every page" to trim each page to its own content in one go.

Lossless and private

The tool changes the page box of the PDF instead of converting pages to images, so quality, links and searchable text are kept. Everything runs on your device.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the area?

Drag the frame to move it and use its round corner handles to resize it. "Detect margins" places the frame around the content of the current page.

Can I crop every page differently?

Yes. Turn on "Detect margins on every page" and each page is trimmed to its own content. Otherwise the same frame is used for all pages or only the current one.

Does cropping lower the quality?

No. Pages are not re-rendered: the visible area is changed, so text stays sharp and selectable.

Is the content outside the frame deleted?

It is hidden, not deleted. Most uses are fine, but to remove sensitive information completely, do not rely on cropping.

Does it work with rotated pages?

Yes. The frame follows the page exactly as you see it, including rotated pages.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Cropping happens in your browser and the PDF never leaves your device.
