Frequently Asked Questions

How do I specify the crop area for my PDF?

Define crop areas using percentage values: left position, top position, width, and height. For example, to remove 10% from all sides, set left and top to 10%, width and height to 80%. The tool provides percentage-based precision for consistent cropping across all pages, making it perfect for removing headers, footers, or unwanted margins.

Will cropping affect all pages in my PDF?

Yes, the same crop settings apply uniformly to all pages for consistency. This is ideal for removing headers, footers, or margins from multi-page documents like reports, books, or academic papers. If you need different cropping for specific pages, consider using our page splitting tool first to separate them into individual files.

Does cropping reduce the PDF quality?

No, cropping is a lossless operation that removes unwanted areas without recompressing the remaining content. Text remains searchable and selectable, images retain their full resolution, and the overall document quality is perfectly preserved. The file size may actually decrease as cropped areas are eliminated from the document.

Yes! Percentage-based cropping works with any page size (A4, Letter, Legal, custom). Each page is cropped according to its individual dimensions, ensuring consistent relative cropping across mixed-size documents while maintaining proportional results.

Bookmarks are preserved and automatically adjusted to the new page dimensions. Links and interactive elements within the cropped area remain functional, while those in removed areas are eliminated. The document structure stays intact with updated coordinates.

The tool provides visual indicators showing which areas will be removed based on your percentage settings. While there's no live preview, the precise percentage system ensures predictable results. Start with conservative values and adjust as needed for optimal outcomes.

No, cropping permanently removes the specified areas from the PDF. Always keep a backup of your original file before cropping. If you need to adjust the crop area, start fresh with the original document rather than trying to modify an already-cropped version.
