Crop PDF
Crop PDF runs in this tab. Draw one box, then apply it to all pages or a range. Page boxes resize the page and keep selectable text, but content outside the box can remain in the file. Page pictures keep only the cropped JPEG.
Privacy and offline checks
Document processing runs locally in supported PDFForge workflows. This panel is a diagnostic view; it cannot prove that no data left the device.
Observed resource activity
0 observations in this page session · 0 need inspection
Resource timing is unavailable in this browser. Use the independent checks below.
Page timing and the active service worker report different surfaces and may observe the same request. Worker activity can be incomplete; WebSockets, request bodies and extensions are outside this view. The latest 60 sanitized observations stay in memory only. URLs, filenames, query strings, document content and byte counts are not recorded here.
Verify independently in DevTools
- Use a clean browser profile and synthetic documents. Open Network in DevTools and enable Preserve log.
- Prepare offline below. Switch Network to Offline, then reload the saved workspace and select a new file.
- Inspect, redact, run output checks and download. Inspect failed requests and request payloads, including worker requests. A same-site request can still transmit data.
- Inspect Application or Storage. Cache Storage should contain public app assets and setup records only. Document recovery and content telemetry are disabled; recipe settings are saved only after opt-in.
Offline readiness

Questions
Crop PDF FAQs
Does cropping upload my PDF?
No. The file, the box, and the download stay in this browser tab.
Does page boxes remove the cut-off content?
No. Page boxes change the visible page size. Content outside the box can still be in the file. Use page pictures when you need that content gone.
Can I crop only some pages?
Yes. Choose custom pages and enter a list such as 1-3, 5. Unselected pages keep their original size.
