Crop reduces the visible area of a page — margins or unwanted zones are hidden without touching the content itself. Resize changes the page's overall dimensions (e.g. to A4 or Letter). Trim usually refers to cutting a document's physical edges. This tool performs a true crop, using the PDF's own CropBox.
