About Crop PDF
Trim wide margins, cut a page down to the part that matters, or make a document easier to read on a phone or e-reader. Draw a rectangle on the page preview, check it, and apply the crop to the current page or to all pages at once. Cropping uses the PDF CropBox, so nothing is thrown away: only the visible area changes. Your file is processed in your browser and never uploaded.
