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.
