Scans often come with a dark border or extra space around the page from the scanner bed. Cropping cleans that up. This tool trims a scan in your browser, so the document is never uploaded.

Why crop scans on your device
Scans are often IDs or records. Cropping them in the browser keeps those documents off any server while you tidy the edges.
