Crop a scanned PDF
Short answer
Scans often have black or grey borders around the page. Trim an even margin off every side here to clean them up — in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Document scanners frequently add a border or capture the platen edge. Cropping an even margin off each side removes that frame for a cleaner, more professional-looking PDF.
Since the file never leaves your device, it's safe for scanned contracts, IDs, and records.
