Choose whether to apply that same area to every page or just the one you're looking at.
4
Press Crop, then download the result. Close the tab and every trace is gone.

Questions

Is cropping a PDF here really private?
Yes. The preview is rendered and the crop applied entirely in your browser — the file is never sent over the network.
How is the selection area applied to pages of different sizes?
As a proportion, not a fixed measurement — if you select the middle 80% of the width on the reference page, every page you crop keeps the middle 80% of its own width, whatever size that page actually is.
What does “Current page” do if I've added more than one file?
It crops only the page you're previewing, in the first file. Any other files in the batch are left completely untouched and download unchanged. For full control over more than one document, crop them one at a time.
Does cropping delete anything, or just hide it?
It sets the page's visible boundary — most readers and printers respect that and show only the cropped area, but the trimmed content isn't destroyed the way it would be with scissors. If you need it permanently gone, this isn't a redaction tool.
Is there a file size limit?
100 MB per file, and 30 files per batch, limited by your device's memory rather than a paid tier.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no email, and no usage cap. Nothing about your files is logged.

About cropping PDFs

A PDF page's content and its visible boundary are two different things — the content can extend past the edge that gets displayed or printed, which is exactly how bleed and crop marks work in professional printing. Cropping here moves that visible boundary to wherever you drag it, using the same mechanism a print shop's crop marks would use.
The preview you drag against is a real render of the page, produced the same way a PDF viewer draws it, so what you select is what you get. Because it's a boundary change rather than a re-render of the page itself, cropping doesn't touch the text or images — everything stays exactly as sharp as it was, just framed differently. Everything runs in your browser. Your file is never uploaded, never queued on a server, and never deleted from one — because it was never there.
