What the result contains

Crop PDF: how it works
Cropping changes each page crop box without rasterizing page contents. The live first-page preview and per-edge controls set the crop values, then PDF Care validates every page before saving.
How to use this Crop PDF tool
- Choose the file you want to process.
- Review the selected input and any available options, then choose Crop PDF.
- Download the generated result directly to your device.
PDF Care keeps this workflow browser-side so the document contents do not need to be sent to a PDF Care application server for processing.
Questions about Crop PDF
Are files uploaded when I use Crop PDF?
No. PDF Care processes this tool locally in your browser, so the document contents are not uploaded to a PDF Care application server.
Does cropping rasterize my PDF?
No. The tool updates PDF page crop boxes rather than turning the pages into images.
Can I crop each edge by a different amount?
Yes. Top, right, bottom and left margins are controlled independently, with a draggable first-page preview.
