About the Crop Image tool
Use the cropper to remove distracting edges, focus on the subject, or fit a photo to a required shape — square for profile pictures, 4:5 for Instagram posts, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails and slides, or 9:16 for stories and reels. The cropped image keeps the full resolution of the area you select.
