Sometimes the most useful edit is deciding what to leave out. Crop a photo to strengthen the focal point, remove unnecessary space, or fit a new layout. Keep the original file so you can return to a wider composition later.

## What it helps with

### Bring the subject forward

Trim excess space and give the focal point a more deliberate position in the frame.

### Fit the next format

Adjust the composition for a square post, a wide presentation visual, or a portrait layout.

### Leave space for the message

Reframe with room for a headline, caption, or product details when the image joins a larger design.

## How to use it

1. **Open the image.** Choose a photo in Playyy’s image cropper and decide where the final image will be used.
2. **Adjust the frame.** Set the crop area while keeping important faces, text, and product edges inside the frame.
3. **Review the composition.** Check the final crop at its intended display size, then download the result.

## Limitations

Cropping removes pixels from the composition. A very tight crop may look soft when enlarged; keep the highest-quality original available.

## Questions

### Does cropping increase image resolution?

No. Cropping keeps a smaller part of the original image. If the crop is displayed much larger, it may look less sharp.

### How should I choose a crop?

Start with the destination and focal point. Keep important details inside the frame and leave breathing room where the layout needs text or a caption.

### Should I keep the original image?

Yes. Save an untouched original so you can make different crops for other layouts without losing the wider composition.
