How do I crop an image to a square?

Choose the 1:1 preset above the preview. The selection box locks to a square, and you can drag it anywhere on the image before cropping.

Can I crop a photo to a specific pixel size?

Crop first to get the framing right, then run the result through the Image Resizer to hit exact pixel dimensions.

Crop Image — frequently asked questions

No. Cropping only discards the pixels outside your selection — the pixels you keep are untouched at full source resolution, even though the on-screen preview is scaled down.
