No. Cropping hides, not deletes — it sets the page's crop box, so content outside the selection is hidden from view but still stored in the file. That's also why cropping doesn't reduce the file size. If you need a smaller file, try our Compress PDF tool.
Yes. Because cropping only hides content instead of deleting it, the crop is reversible — the hidden content can be restored later by resetting the crop box (for example by cropping again with a larger area, or with any PDF editor). Your original file also stays untouched on your device.
Yes! Choose "All pages" and the same crop area is applied to every page — ideal for trimming uniform margins across the whole document. You can also crop just the current page.
When cropping all pages, the selection is applied as the same relative area on each page — for example, the middle 80% — so it scales correctly even when page sizes differ.
No. This tool runs 100% in your browser — your file is opened and cropped locally on your device and is never uploaded anywhere. It's free and requires no sign-up.
Upload your PDF (up to 50MB), drag a rectangle on the page preview to select the area you want to keep, choose whether to apply the crop to all pages or just the current page, then click "Apply Crop & Download". Everything runs in your browser.
Yes. Choose "Current page only" and the crop is applied solely to the page you're viewing. Use the page navigation arrows to move to the page you want before applying.
Yes. Cropping only adjusts the visible page area, so Arabic text, right-to-left layout, diacritics, and mixed-language content are preserved exactly as they are in the original document.
You can open PDF files up to 50MB. There's no limit on the number of pages. Since processing happens on your own device, very large files simply depend on your device's memory and speed.
Cropping is nearly instant because there's no upload or download wait — the crop box update happens locally on your device. Speed depends on your device and browser, not on server load, and even large documents typically finish in seconds.
No. The tool creates a new PDF (named "cropped-" plus your original filename) with the crop applied, while your original file remains completely untouched on your device.
No, encrypted PDFs can't be opened for cropping. If you have the password and permission, unlock the PDF first with an unlock tool, then crop the unlocked copy.
Yes. The crop interface is touch-friendly — you can drag the crop rectangle with your finger on smartphones and tablets, and processing happens right on your device.
Yes, cropping PDFs with BlendPDF is completely free — no fees, no watermarks, no account required, and no premium tiers today. All features are available at no charge.
Common causes are files over 50MB, corrupted PDFs, or password-protected files. Verify the file opens in a PDF viewer, check the size, unlock encrypted files first, and try refreshing the page and cropping again.
