How to crop PDF pages

Dark shadows at the edge of scanned pages, wide borders in slide decks, or margins that make text tiny on a phone can all be trimmed. You see the page and pull the corners of the frame to mark what stays.

Apply the same frame to every page or crop only the page you see. Nothing is redrawn: text stays sharp and selectable and links keep working; only the visible area gets smaller.

Cropping hides what is outside the frame but does not delete it from the file. To remove information for good, use the Redact PDF tool.

Questions

Can I crop all pages at once?
Yes. With "Apply to all pages" on, the frame you draw is applied to every page.
Is the cropped part deleted from the file?
No, it only becomes invisible. Use Redact PDF if the information must really be removed.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Processing happens in your browser, on your own device; your files are never sent to Quillo servers or anywhere else. Nothing is left behind when you close the page.
Does cropping reduce quality?
No. The page is not redrawn; text and images keep their quality.
