Answers and guidanceFrequently Asked Questions

Can I crop PDF pages to specific dimensions?

Yes. You can enter exact width and height dimensions, or use the drag-and-drop interface to select the crop area visually.

Can I crop multiple pages at once?

Yes. You can apply the same crop settings to all pages, or crop each page individually with different settings.

Is Crop PDF free to use?

Yes. Crop PDF is completely free with no usage limits, no watermarks, and no sign-up. You can crop as many PDFs as you need.

Do I need to install any software to use Crop PDF?

No. Crop PDF runs entirely in your web browser. There's nothing to download or install — just open the page and start cropping.

Are my files private and secure with Crop PDF?

Yes. Crop PDF processes everything locally on your device. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so your data stays private and is cleared when you close the tab.

Yes. Crop PDF works in any modern browser on desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile — no app required.

What's the maximum PDF file size I can crop?

You can crop PDF files up to 100MB in size. Since processing happens locally, you're only limited by your device's available memory.

Can I crop password-protected PDFs?

No, you cannot directly crop password-protected PDFs. You would need to remove the password protection first using our free Unlock PDF tool.

Can I undo a crop?

Unlike cloud-based cropping tools that upload your files to servers, Toolyconvert processes everything locally in your browser. This means better privacy and no risk of data exposure.

Do I need an internet connection to use Crop PDF?

You need an internet connection to initially load the web page. Once loaded, cropping happens offline in your browser.

Can I crop PDFs in bulk?

Yes! Upload multiple PDF files and crop them all in one session to save time.

Can I crop only specific pages?

Yes. You can select which pages to crop and apply different crop settings to each page if needed.
