Cropping is more than trimming—it’s about composition. The Crop Tool helps you reframe your image to better focus on your subject, fit social media formats, or improve visual balance.

* **Rotate** – Tap the rotate icon to spin the image clockwise by 90°.
* **Flip Vertically or Horizontally** – Use the respective flip icons to mirror your photo in either direction.
* **Crop Presets** – Choose from a list of aspect ratios:

1. Original – Maintain the current ratio.
2. Freeform – Drag corners to any dimension.
3. Square – 1:1 ratio for classic balance.
4. Instagram/Facebook – Optimized for posts and stories.
5. Facebook Cover – Specifically sized for profile banners.
6. Manual Crop – Drag any edge or corner to crop precisely.

* **Checkmark** – Apply your crop.
* **X Icon** – Cancel cropping without applying.

**How to Use**: Tap the Crop icon, choose a preset or freeform, and adjust using the drag handles. Tap the checkmark when you’re satisfied.

**When to Use**: Useful for improving framing, fitting platform-specific dimensions, or removing distracting edges.
