Privacy

Your PDF is opened, cropped and saved by your own browser. It is never uploaded, so we never see it, store it or keep a copy.

Updated 12 November 2026

What happens to your file

When you choose a PDF, your browser reads it from your device into the open tab. The preview is drawn there and the cropped copy is built there. Close the tab and it is gone. There is no account and no upload step, so there is nothing for us to delete.

You can check this yourself: open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, and crop a file. You will see the page and its tools load, and no request carrying your PDF.

What the page loads

• The page itself, from our server.
• Two PDF tools, pdf.js to draw the preview and pdf-lib to save the crop, from the public file server cdnjs.
• Fonts, from Google Fonts.

Like any website, these servers see your IP address and what was requested. None of them receive your PDF.

What we keep

Nothing. No accounts, no cookies and no analytics on this site.

FixMyScan

Crop PDF is made by FixMyScan, and one button after a crop leads there. FixMyScan works differently: it uploads your file to clean whole scans on its servers, and its own privacy page explains how.
