Limitations to know

Cropping mainly changes the visible area of the page. Content outside the frame may still exist in the PDF structure, so do not use this action to hide or delete sensitive data.

Frequently asked questions

Answers about capabilities, limits, and how files are handled.

Does cropping permanently delete content outside the frame?
You should not assume so. Cropping usually changes the visible area; use a proper redaction tool if you need to remove sensitive data.
Can I apply the same frame to multiple pages?
Yes, if the page range selection fits your document. Preview pages with different layouts.
Does cropping reduce file size?
Not necessarily. The main purpose is to adjust the page area, not to compress the PDF.
Where are files processed?
The main operation happens in the browser on your device.
