CONTEXT

When Should You Crop a PDF?

PDF cropping is useful in many situations: removing white borders from scans, cutting off repeated headers accidentally added, adjusting page size for publishing, or showing a specific part of a document to a specific audience.

Photographers and graphic designers use PDF cropping to show only the relevant element from a larger document. Medical and legal professionals crop documents to remove irrelevant information.

HOW IT WORKS

How Does the PDF Crop Tool Work?

Kovetz's PDF crop tool lets you set the visible area of each page - directly in the browser, no software required. Upload a PDF, drag a rectangle on the preview to define the crop area, and click "Crop PDF".

The tool uses PDF's native CropBox technology - original content is preserved in the file, only the visible area changes. This means the crop can be recovered in advanced PDF software at any time.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Does cropping delete content from the PDF?

No. Cropping only changes the CropBox - a field that defines the visible area. Original content is preserved in the file and can be recovered with advanced tools.

Can I crop just one page?

Yes. Select "Specific pages" and enter the page number (e.g., 1 or 2-4).

What happens to the file after cropping?

The file is automatically deleted from servers after you download the final file. We do not view, store, or share content with any third party.
