Description

The Preview app in iOS 26 makes PDF editing simple. In this video, I’ll show you how to crop, rotate and highlight important details on your iPhone.

Transcript

The Preview app on your iPhone in iOS 26 makes it really easy to crop and rotate PDF documents. Here’s how.

On the screen here, you can see I’ve got a ticket for a train trip. But it’s an A4 document and the ticket is quite small in the corner. When a conductor comes around, I have to open it up, zoom in, and position it on the screen just so they can scan that QR code. And that’s a little bit of a hassle.

If only we could crop it so it’s actually the right size for the ticket. Well, we can now. And to do this, all I’m going to do is zoom out to fill the whole page on my screen. Then I’m going to press the selection button on the bottom toolbar.

At this point, I can grab those little blue dots in the corners and resize my box to make it smaller to fit my ticket. And then when I’ve positioned it as I want, I can simply long press in the middle and choose Crop.

My PDF document is no longer an A4 page. Now, if I want to, I can rename the document. I can press the three dots in the corner to rotate the document. Or I can use the markup tools to highlight certain information that’s important – perhaps my seat number and the time I depart so I won’t forget it.

That will all be saved onto the PDF document that I can open up at any time. I can even search on my iPhone Home Screen to find this document in the future.
