Does cropping delete the text or just hide the margins?

Cropping updates the PDF page boundary boxes (CropBox and MediaBox) so that PDF readers, web browsers, and printers display only the selected cropped area while preserving underlying vector clarity.

Can I crop different pages with different dimensions?

Yes, you can crop pages individually with unique dimensions, or choose to apply one uniform crop dimension across the entire PDF document.

Will cropping reduce the quality of vector graphics or text?

No. The underlying vector text, fonts, and images retain 100% of their original sharpness and resolution.

Can I crop PDF pages on mobile phones (Android / iPhone)?

Yes! Freeallpdf is fully touch-optimized, allowing you to drag and adjust crop handles directly on your mobile smartphone screen.

Is there a watermark or file size limit added to my cropped PDF?

No watermark is ever added to your files. Freeallpdf is 100% free with no file limits, no ads stamped on your pages, and no registration required.

Is my file processed on a remote server?

No. All crop calculations are performed client-side inside your browser memory. Your documents never leave your computer.

What is Crop PDF?

Cropping a PDF trims away excess white margins, printer crop marks, dark scanner borders, and unwanted headers or footers. This dramatically improves document readability on mobile phones, iPads, and e-readers like Amazon Kindle.

Freeallpdf provides an interactive visual crop tool directly in your web browser. Simply drag the boundary handles to select the exact content area you want to preserve. You can crop a single page or apply the exact same crop margin across all pages uniformly.

All processing happens locally on your computer with complete privacy: your documents are never uploaded to cloud servers, and no watermarks or email sign-ups are ever imposed.
