Cropping is one of the simplest ways to improve a photo. Remove distracting edges, reframe your subject, or cut an image to exact dimensions for a specific platform.
How to Crop
Upload your image and drag the crop handles to select the area you want to keep. Everything outside the rectangle is removed.
