crop tool

Photo edge cutter

A crop tool is a feature in image editing software that removes unwanted outer portions of a photograph or graphic.

The user draws a rectangle around the area to keep, and everything outside that selection is discarded.

Cropping can improve composition, remove distracting elements, or change an image's aspect ratio: I used the crop tool to cut out the photobomber in the background.
