What this tool does
Cropping is the fastest way to improve a photo. Cutting away the empty corners of a room, straightening a document you photographed, or trimming a group picture down to one face all take a few seconds. The crop keeps the full quality of the original — the saved file is cut from the real pixels, not from the small preview on screen.
How to use it
- Choose your photo.
- Pick a shape: original, square, portrait, or widescreen.
- Drag the picture to move it, and pinch or use the slider to zoom.
- Tap Crop, then Download.
Tips that actually help
- Square works for profile pictures nearly everywhere. Portrait 4:5 fills the most screen space on Instagram.
- Widescreen 16:9 is the shape for YouTube thumbnails.
- Leave a little space above a head — a face against the top edge looks cramped.
- Zooming in crops from fewer pixels, so do not zoom further than you need.
