About Crop Image

Crop Image focuses attention on the subject and removes distracting edges. Draw the crop area, preview, then download—handy before resize or compress steps.

Good crops improve thumbnails, social posts, and document scans where margins waste space.

Crop Image removes unused edges so the subject fills the frame. It is the step most people should do before compression: there is no reason to encode empty margins you plan to discard anyway.

For document photos, crop after you straighten orientation. For social posts, leave a little padding so platform UI chrome does not clip faces.
