What this tool does

Hide consistent empty margins when a document has more space around its content than you need. Values are applied to each page’s current crop rectangle in the PDF’s unrotated coordinate system. One point is one seventy-second of an inch. The tool keeps the page content as PDF objects rather than rendering it into an image.

Supported formats and limits

Cropping changes visibility only and is not redaction. Hidden text, images, annotations and other objects can remain in the file and may be recoverable. Margins must leave a positive-width and positive-height rectangle on every page. Rotated pages use their underlying page coordinates, so inspect orientation carefully. Only unencrypted PDFs up to 4 MiB and 200 pages are supported, and rewriting the document invalidates existing digital signatures.

What should I check before using the result?

Cropping changes visibility only and is not redaction.

Is input uploaded?

No conversion history is saved. The converter does not upload files to a third-party conversion service.
