When to crop an image
Cropping removes unwanted edges and reframes the subject. Use it for profile images, product photos, blog thumbnails, marketplace listings, presentation graphics, and upload forms that need a cleaner composition.

Example
If a profile photo needs a round avatar, upload it, choose Profile circle, adjust the handles until the face is centered, then export a transparent PNG. For product photos, choose a square or portrait crop before resizing to the final upload dimensions.

Crop first when you need to reframe the subject. Resize afterward when the cropped image needs exact final pixel dimensions.
