Frequently Asked Questions
Can I crop visually instead of typing numbers?
Yes. Drag the blue handles directly on the page preview to set the crop area; the margin sliders update automatically, and vice versa.
Does cropping reduce the quality of my PDF?
No. Cropping only changes the visible page area — the underlying text and images keep their original resolution.
Are the same margins applied to every page?
Yes. The top, bottom, left, and right margins you set are applied uniformly across all pages of the document.
Can I crop different amounts on each side?
Yes. Switch the margins from "Linked" to "Independent" to trim a different amount from each edge.
Is it free and secure?
Completely free with no signup. Your file is processed over a secure connection and is not stored after your session.
