Tips for a cleaner crop

The faint grid inside your selection follows the rule of thirds — placing a subject along those lines, rather than dead centre, usually looks more balanced than a centred crop.

For profile photos or thumbnails, the 1:1 ratio keeps things square across every platform. For video thumbnails or wide banners, 16:9 matches most screens.

Frequently asked questions

How do I resize the crop area?

Draw a new selection by dragging anywhere outside the current one — it replaces the old selection. Drag inside the current selection to move it without resizing.

Can I crop to a specific ratio like square or widescreen?

Yes — choose 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, or 16:9 above the image, or leave it on Free for any shape.

Does cropping reduce image quality?

No — the cropped area is extracted at its original resolution, so quality is preserved.
