Online Picture Editor to Crop picture in specific sizes
The Crop tool lets you recompose the photo and change the orientation in addition to choosing the size.
Looking to crop your image to the just-right dimensions? Open your image in the Picture Editor and find Crop in the Edits tab on the left:
- Use the preset crop proportions in the drop-down menu to accurately crop your image. (We’ve got standard printing sizes and screen sizes all set up for you.)
- Get specific with pixels in the Width and Height fields.
Save images as the right size
The war between file sizes and image quality may never end, but we’re proposing a ceasefire. When you click Export on the top toolbar in the editor, you’ll have the option to save it as a JPG, PNG, or PDF. In the JPG option you’ll notice three quality levels:
- Low: Not great quality, tiny file size
- Medium: Great quality, good file size
- High: Gorgeous, but large file size
You’ll also notice that the file size is displayed above the Export to computer button. Select the option that offers the ideal balance between image quality and image size, and rest assured that your file size is Just right.
