Frequently asked questions
About Crop PDF
Crop PDF trims unwanted margins or borders from PDF pages. It is useful for scanned book pages, phone scans with a desk background, slides exported with large white space, shipping labels, receipts, and documents that need a cleaner print area. Cropping changes the visible page area. It usually does not rewrite the underlying content; it hides what falls outside the crop box. That means you should not use cropping as privacy removal. If hidden content must be permanently removed, use redaction or rebuild the page. Before exporting, check pages with signatures, stamps, headers, footers, page numbers, and QR codes. A crop that looks fine on page one may cut off a stamp on page seven.
Updated June 2026: Expanded crop guidance for scanner borders, white margins, book scans, printer bleed, page boxes, and checking content before export.
