Who is it for?
It's for anyone fighting wasted space around their pages. Students and researchers trim the wide white borders off scanned book chapters so the text fills a phone or tablet screen. Designers and marketers crop a slide deck exported to PDF down to clean edges before sending it to print. Office users shave off browser-print headers and footers to get a tidy, focused document.

Why crop a PDF?
Scanned books and reports often have huge white margins that waste paper and screen space. Cropping makes the content fill the page — easier to read on phones, less ink wasted on print.
PDF7 lets you crop all pages at once with a single trim setting. The original mediabox stays intact (so the file is reversible), but the visible region shrinks to your specs.
Cropping is also a quick fix when pages were exported at the wrong size. A presentation saved to PDF often carries empty bands above and below each slide, and reports printed to PDF from a browser can pick up header and footer strips you never wanted. Trim those edges and the page reflows tighter for slideshows, e-readers, and side-by-side reading, while the underlying text and images stay exactly where they were.

FAQ
Will I lose content if I crop too much?
No. Cropping only changes the visible region (cropbox). The original content is preserved — you can re-open the file in another tool and reset the cropbox.
Can I crop different amounts per page?
Currently we apply the same crop to every page. For per-page cropping, use a desktop tool like Acrobat.
How big can my file be?
Up to 300 MB. For huge documents, the crop is fast — just metadata changes, no re-encoding.
Is my file private?
Yes. Files are processed in memory and deleted right after the response is sent. No tracking, no storage.
Does cropping reduce the file size?
Usually not by much. Cropping only updates the CropBox, so the original page content still lives inside the file — that's what keeps the change reversible. If your goal is a smaller file in MB, run the result through our Compress PDF tool afterward.
Will cropping break printing or page numbers?
No. The page order and count stay the same, so links, bookmarks, and references still point to the right pages. When you print, the printer uses the new visible region — just keep your trim margins balanced if you want the content centered on the sheet.
