Frequently Asked Questions
What are the two main reasons to crop an image?
The two main reasons to crop an image are 1) to fit it to a specific dimension for social media and 2) to emphasize or redact important subject matter in the image. Our data shows that the number one reason people crop images is so that they can fit or resize the image to a specific social media platform, like Instagram or Twitter. For these shared images, cropping to a specific size is especially important, as it provides the correct amount of emphasis for the image. A secondary reason users crop images is to adjust the image to hide or emphasize something important. For example, an editor might crop an image to showcase someone's face, or crop out a part of an image to hide something more sensitive.
How is cropping done?
Cropping an image is usually done by removing certain preselected pixels from an image. Creators can achieve this cropping effect by selecting areas of their image that they want to crop, and then using an image cropping tool to crop, or cut out, these sections of the image. This process is important to remove nonessential parts of an image, or fit the image more effectively to a certain social media platform. One such popular online image cropping tool that creators can take advantage of to complete this process is Kapwing.
