Frequently asked questions
Does cropping delete content outside the crop area?
Cropping changes the visible page boundaries; it is not a secure way to permanently redact sensitive content.
Does cropping make text blurry?
No. Cropping page boundaries does not require turning vector text into pixels.
Can I change paper size instead?
Use Resize PDF to place page content on a standard A4, Letter or other paper size.
How large can the uploaded PDF be?
Guests can upload files up to 25 MB each. A free account raises the limit to 50 MB per file, and Premium allows 500 MB per file with larger batches.
What happens to uploaded documents?
They are encrypted in transit and deleted automatically after a short time.
