When you import an image into draw using -open with draw-, the image is always shrunk to the edges of the page by a predefined size. This is annoying. Can’t permanent customization be introduced: “when opening zero edges”? Also, when you open a document, the page always has borders. When you set the borders to zero, the image is imported because it does not respect the page size. That is, if for example the page is 297x210 mm, the image (which is also 297 x 210mm) is imported at 209 x 288. This is annoying.
You bypass any assigned template if you work this way so you get the LibreOffice default.
If you want to always open a new document (not File > Open > [an image]) with zero margins then create a page with zero margins and make that the default template. Open a new document then click Insert > Image then select and Open, or just drag the image in from the file manager.
If you don’t want the image to be defined by the page size then choose a larger page size (up to 6m x 6m) in your default template

solved, thank you very much
In fact, this is a bug. When we import any kind of document, we always try to create a LibreOffice document that represents the original as close as possible. Whatever information we can take from the file, we try to use.
When we import images, we somehow invent the page margins, when we know that images have nothing beyond the range. This should be fixed; I seem to remember writing something along these lines to the bug tracker, but can’t easily find now.
