Frequently asked questions

Can I crop each page differently?

Yes, cropping can be applied per page.

Does cropping reduce file size?

Cropping can reduce size slightly by removing page content.

Is Crop PDF free to use?

Yes. The tool is available in the free tier with monthly operation limits and no account required. Premium users get higher file-size limits and unlimited operations.

Do I need an account to use this tool?

No account is required. Upload your file, process it, and download the result — all without signing up.

Is my data safe? Are files uploaded to your servers?

Most PDF operations are handled directly in-browser via WebAssembly. If server-side processing is required, files are stored in encrypted temporary storage and deleted immediately after download — within 15 minutes maximum. No files are retained.

Will cropping a PDF permanently delete the cropped content?

Cropping trims the visible area of the page. Margins and whitespace are removed, but page content within the crop region is preserved.
