Cropping images is a common editing task and one that’s particularly useful for web design. Images can be cropped to fit within a certain space or to eliminate unwanted parts of the image. Canva makes it easy to crop your images with our easy-to-use cropping tools.

To crop an image in Canva, first select the image you want to crop. Then, click the Crop button in the toolbar.
