Forgive me for sounding like a complete ID 10T, but how do you do that? As you can probably guess, I'm fairly new to this.
Using software on a laptop/ PC?
If you are on a laptop or mobile....
Steps to Crop and Save (Mobile & Desktop):
- Open the Photo: Open the Google Photos app (mobile) or go to photos.google.com (desktop).
- Edit Tool: Tap or click the Edit button (usually a slider icon or labeled "Edit"). This is in the top right and is the second symbol from the left
- Crop: Select the Crop/Rotate tool.
- Adjust: Drag the corners or edges of the photo to the desired size. You can also select preset aspect ratios (e.g., 16:9, square).
- Save: Click Save (desktop) or Save copy (mobile).
- Tip: You can use the "Auto-frame" feature in the crop menu to let AI adjust the framing.
- Save Copy: On mobile devices, after cropping, Google Photos often requires you to save the edited photo as a new copy, rather than overwriting the original.
- Undo/Revert: You can always open a saved image and click "Edit" -> "Revert" to restore the original image.
- Other Tools: Within the same editor, you can also rotate, flip, or use the "Perspective" tool to fix, for example, a slanted image.
