Crop for meaning, not just size
A useful crop removes empty or distracting areas while protecting the details that explain the image. Leave breathing room around faces, product edges and text. If an image must fit a square or portrait slot, decide the final shape before fine-tuning the crop.
Step-by-step
- Open Crop & Rotate and choose the source image.
- Set the Left and Top positions to choose where the crop begins.
- Set Crop width and Crop height for the area you want to keep.
- Review the crop preview and check that important edges are not clipped.
- Apply a 90°, 180° or 270° rotation if the orientation is wrong. Use mirroring only when it serves the image.
- Choose PNG, JPG or WebP, apply the edit and download the result.
Sequence matters
Plan the crop first, then rotate and mirror while watching the preview. This makes the final composition easier to judge and avoids repeated exports.
Composition check
- People: Keep eyes and hands away from cramped edges.
- Products: Leave consistent space around the full object.
- Text in images: Confirm every letter stays readable after the crop.
