For pdf's use pdfcrop (it comes with most tex distributions, I think - certainly miktex and others. Alternatviely download it from http://pdfcrop.sourceforge.net/). Pdfcrop needs ghostscript, but I assume you have that.

For bitmap images (tiff, png, jpg, etc.) most graphics programs (gimp, photoshop, etc.) have an autocrop tool that will get rid of the whitespace around the image. Alternatively, imagemagick can be run from the command line and will trim these. See http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?t=15675.
