How to use the Crop tool
Trim a canvas to the part of an image or layout you want to keep. PictorX keeps the tool in the same browser workspace as your layers, photos, text, and design elements, so you can refine a composition without switching applications.

Use Crop as one step in a complete editing workflow. Adjust the composition, add text or graphics, and keep every change editable while you turn an image into a finished design.
Frequently asked questions
Does crop throw away the rest of the photo?
Crop trims the canvas to the rectangle you keep.
Can I crop to a 16:9 or square ratio?
Yes. Set a ratio for thumbnails, posts, or print before you commit.
How is crop different from canvas size?
Crop trims. Canvas size changes the working area and can add empty space.
Can I get the cropped pixels back?
Undo in the session, or reopen an editable project if you saved one.
