Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about browser processing, file safety, and format capabilities.
Does cropping permanently delete cropped content or just hide it?
DocuShrink updates the standard PDF CropBox and MediaBox parameters. Standard viewers will only display the cropped area.
Can I apply the same crop to every page in the document?
Yes. Check 'Apply to All Pages' to enforce uniform margins across your entire document.
Does cropping reduce the file size?
Cropping updates page boundary coordinates. To reduce file size significantly, run your cropped file through our Compress PDF tool.
Are my documents uploaded to any server?
No. The crop coordinates and PDF modifications are calculated locally in your browser.
