Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions
Will cropping reduce the file size?
Sometimes. If you're removing image content from margins, the file may get smaller. Cropping white space has minimal effect on size.
Can I crop different pages differently?
Yes, you can set a different crop area for each page, or apply the same crop to all pages.
Is the cropped content permanently removed?
By default, yes. The cropped areas are removed from the output. Some PDF readers may have "restore" options for standard crops.
Can I undo cropping after download?
No, cropping is permanent in the downloaded file. Keep your original file if you might need to re-crop differently.
What about text that gets cropped?
Any content outside the crop box is removed, including text. Use the preview to ensure you're not cutting important content.
Can I crop scanned images in a PDF?
Yes, cropping works on all PDF content including scanned images.
