Frequently asked questions

Is the trimmed content deleted permanently?

Cropping sets the visible CropBox — hidden content technically remains in the file. Use Redact PDF if you need the content fully removed.

Can I crop different regions on different pages?

Apply the crop per-page or to the entire document. For mixed crops, run the tool multiple times.

Do my files get uploaded?

No — cropping is computed entirely in your browser.
