cropping out

Cutting the frame

Cropping out is removing unwanted portions from the edges of an image, typically to exclude a person or object from the frame.

The term comes from photo editing, where cropping trims an image's boundaries.

Someone might crop out an ex from vacation photos or crop out a stranger who wandered into the background: She cropped him out of every picture after the breakup.
