FAQ

Does it work on A4 and other page sizes?

Yes. The crop area is worked out from each page's actual width and height, so A4, US Letter and mixed-size documents are all handled. If your margins are larger than a page, the tool stops with an error instead of producing a broken file.

Is the cropped content really deleted?

No. The tool changes the visible page area (both the media box and the crop box) only. The text and images outside the new area remain in the file and could be recovered by editing it, so do not use this to hide sensitive information.

How do I convert inches or millimetres to points?

Multiply inches by 72, or millimetres by about 2.835. For example, 0.5 inch is 36 points and 10 mm is about 28 points.

Can I crop only some pages, or draw the crop area?

No. There is no page selection and no visual crop box. The same four margin values are applied to all pages, so if your pages have different sizes the visible result will differ from page to page.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The crop is applied in your browser and the new file is created there.
