: Getting rid of Whitespace in Inkscape Is there a way in Inkscape to set the boundaries of the svg file the way they would be set if you export as a bitmap? I want that there's no whitespace

@Dunderdale640

Another way is to make a keyboard shorcut by going to Edit -> Preferences -> Interface -> Keyboard Shorcuts and searching for

"fitcanvastoselectionordraw"

You should find the "Fit Page to Selection Or Drawing" there.

Left click the shortcut column (blank space) to assign a shortcut.

To modify the document bounding box:


Go to File → Document Properties... (or press Shift +Ctrl + D)
In the Custom size area on the Page tab, expand Resize Page to content... (or press Alt + Z)
Click the Resize page to drawing or selection button (or press Alt + R)


You can add margins if you like
