Quick Summary: Crop PDF
Crop and trim the margins of your PDF pages. Resize pages by cropping specific areas. Siliph's Crop PDF is a free in-browser PDF utility featuring a built-in AI assistant to optimize formatting, suggest settings, and answer compliance questions.
What does Crop PDF do?
Crop PDF trims margins, scanner borders, and excess whitespace from every page so the visible content fills the frame—ideal for scans, screenshots, and presentation slides.
When to use Crop PDF
- Trimming scanner margins or black borders from scans
- Focusing on a table or diagram by cutting white space
- Standardizing page crops before printing or archiving
Flatbed and phone scans frequently capture black edges, binder shadows, or wide margins that waste ink when printing and inflate file size when uploading. Cropping standardizes the visible area so tables, signatures, and diagrams sit centered on each page.
Siliph Crop PDF lets you draw a crop box on the first page and apply it to all pages at once, or adjust individual pages when a batch scan shifted between sheets. Preview updates in the browser so you see exactly what will print before downloading.
Uniform crops are especially useful before merging multiple scans into one packet: every page shares the same aspect ratio, which makes Bates numbering and header-footer placement line up cleanly on review.
Encrypted uploads keep financial statements and legal exhibits private while you work. Files auto-delete within two hours on the free plan, and you can crop without creating a Siliph account.
After cropping, run Compress PDF if a portal still enforces a kilobyte limit, or add page numbers if a court filing requires sequential labeling on the trimmed pages.
Siliph edit utilities—crop, rotate, headers, Bates numbers, metadata—apply changes in the browser with encrypted handling from the moment you drop a file. Finished PDFs auto-delete within two hours on the free plan, and every edit workflow opens without signup.
