Frequently Asked Questions

Does cropping reduce quality or re-render the page?

No — cropping only changes each page's visible area (its crop box), the same technique desktop PDF editors use. The original content underneath is untouched.

Is the same crop applied to every page?

Yes — set it once on the preview and it's applied identically across the whole document, which is what most multi-page crops need.

Can I crop by exact measurements instead of dragging?

Yes — four percentage fields (top, right, bottom, left) stay in sync with the draggable box, so you can type exact margins if you prefer.
