Why use Crop PDF on PDF NOVA
Files stay on your device
Processing happens in your browser. Your document is never uploaded to a server, so there is nothing to delete afterwards.
Precise margins
Enter exact values in millimetres or points for consistent results across every page.
No sign-up, no watermark
Open the page and start working. Results are clean PDFs with no branding added.
Processing on your device
Crop PDF processes your file in your browser on your device. The file is not uploaded for processing. Download the result to keep a permanent copy. Your active PDF is saved locally in this browser for recovery across refreshes. Close Document removes it; recovery expires after 24 hours and is cleaned up when PDF NOVA next opens. Unsaved changes are not restored.

Frequently asked questions
Is Crop PDF free?
Yes. Crop PDF is free to use without an account and does not add a watermark to your file.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs entirely in your web browser using JavaScript and Web Workers. The file is read from your device, processed in memory and saved back to your device.
Does cropping delete the hidden content?
Cropping sets the visible area of each page. Content outside the crop box is hidden in every PDF reader but not permanently erased — use Redact PDF to permanently remove sensitive content.
