Why crop a PDF

Scans often come with dark borders and half a page of empty margin; academic papers ship with huge margins that shrink the text on e-readers. Cropping removes the dead space so the content itself gets the screen.

One crop, all pages

Set the crop area once and apply it to every page for a consistent result — ideal for uniformly scanned books and reports.

Non-destructive workflow

Your original file stays as-is; you download a new, cropped copy. If you crop too tight, just run it again from the original. Files are processed temporarily and deleted automatically — there is no general cloud storage.
