Use the intended display shape while preserving important details. This worked guide uses a small reproducible example so you can check the result before adapting it to your own task.

시작하기 전에

  • A copy of the image

2

Choose the output shape

Set the crop aspect ratio required by the destination if one is specified. Decide whether the image is meant for a square card, wide banner or portrait view.

3

Position the subject

Move the crop boundary while keeping important features inside it. Avoid cutting through a product’s key detail or a person’s face accidentally.

4

Check at the final display size

Preview the crop at a small card size as well as a larger view. Confirm the subject is still recognizable and any useful context remains.

5

Export a separate copy

Save the cropped version with a descriptive filename. Check the exported dimensions and leave the original unchanged.

도움말 및 문제 해결

  • A crop cannot recover detail that was never captured.
  • Allow space for text overlays only when the destination needs them.
