How to use it well
About this crop image online
Settings, real-world decisions, release checks and limitations.
Crop an image visually by moving and resizing the selection directly on the photo. The editor behaves like a familiar phone cropper and includes common aspect-ratio presets, rotation and flip controls.
Cropping removes pixels outside the selected area. Choose the final composition before resizing or compressing so the exported image contains only the content you need.
