How to crop an image
Precise cropping removes distractions and adapts one image to several placements. Decide where the output will appear first.
01Upload the imageSelect the file you want to frame.
02Set the areaMove and resize the crop around the main subject.
03Export the final versionDownload the result and keep the original.
Crop for the destination
An avatar, header, and card image do not need the same framing. Consider the aspect ratio and available space.
Leave room around key elements in case the platform crops again.
Protect the original file
Cropping removes pixels outside the selected area in the new version. Keep the original if you expect other compositions.
