About this tool
How cropping works
Cropping keeps the pixels inside your selection and discards everything outside it. Because the removed pixels are gone for good, the output dimensions shrink to the selection — the remaining pixels stay at full original quality.
When to reach for it
Tighten a composition onto its subject, remove strangers and clutter from the edges, fit a photo to a specific aspect ratio for a platform, or isolate one region for a close-up. Cropping is the most-used edit in photography for a reason.
Tips for the best result
Crop for composition: place the subject off-center along the thirds, and leave breathing room in the direction a subject faces or moves. Crop before resizing — deciding the framing first means you only keep the pixels you actually need.
Frequently asked questions
Does cropping reduce quality?
The kept pixels stay at full original quality. Total resolution drops because you removed pixels, so a heavily cropped photo has fewer pixels to spare for printing — crop before shrinking, and keep the original file.
Can I crop to an exact aspect ratio?
Yes — the crop selection supports fixed ratios, so you can hit platform requirements like 1:1 or 16:9 precisely instead of eyeballing it.
Is cropping reversible?
Not within the downloaded file — the removed pixels are gone. Your original on the device is never modified, so you can always crop again from scratch.
