A practical guide to Crop image

Crop Image selects a rectangular region using freeform or fixed aspect ratios such as square, 4:3, 16:9, and vertical. The exported pixel dimensions come from the selected portion of the source.

Example: prepare a 1:1 profile image

Choose the square ratio, position the face with comfortable headroom, crop from the highest-resolution original, and inspect the result at the service's displayed size.

Task-specific steps

  1. 1

    Open the highest-resolution source available and choose a preset ratio or Freeform.

  2. 2

    Move and resize the crop so the subject and necessary context remain inside the selection.

  3. 3

    Apply the crop, check the output pixel dimensions, and download while retaining the uncropped original.

Options that affect the result

  • Preset ratios lock proportions for square, landscape, widescreen, portrait, and tall-screen placements.
  • Freeform allows any rectangular selection when no destination ratio is required.

Limitations to know first

  • Cropping only removes pixels; it does not upscale or add detail to a small selection.
  • The current workflow does not provide a separate exact-width and exact-height resampling step.

Questions specific to this task

What determines the cropped image dimensions?

The dimensions match the selected pixel region in the original image. A smaller selection produces a smaller output unless a separate resizing step is used later.

Which aspect ratio should I choose?

Match the destination: 1:1 for square placements, 16:9 for widescreen, 9:16 for vertical screens, or Freeform when the target accepts any shape.
