How to crop and resize your photos on mobile

Editing photos on mobile has become a common task for many of us. With the constant improvement of smartphone cameras, more and more people are turning to their phones to take pictures. However, taking the photo is only half the battle. The other half is editing the photo to make it look as good as possible. In this guide, we'll focus on two common photo editing tasks: cropping and resizing.

Cropping your photos

Cropping a photo means removing parts of the image that you don't want. This can be useful for removing distracting elements from the photo or for focusing more on the main subject. Here are the steps to crop a photo on your mobile phone:

1. Open the photo you want to crop in your favorite photo editing application. There are many options available including Google Photos, Adobe Lightroom and Snapseed.
2. Look for the "Crop" or "Trim" option. This option is usually located in the application's edit menu.
3. After selecting the "Crop" option, you will see a bounding box around your photo. You can move and adjust this box to choose which part of the photo you want to keep.
4. When you are satisfied with your selection, tap the "Finish" or "Apply" button. Your photo will now be cropped to the selection you made.

Resizing your photos

Resizing a photo means changing its dimensions. This can be useful if you want to use the photo in a specific place that requires a certain image size. Here are the steps to resize a photo on your mobile phone:

1. Open the photo you want to resize in your photo editing application.
2. Look for the "Resize" or "Change size" option. This option is usually located in the application's edit menu.
3. After selecting the "Resize" option, you will be able to enter the new dimensions for your photo. You can resize the photo by percentage or enter the exact dimensions you want.
4. When you are satisfied with the new size, tap the "Finish" or "Apply" button. Your photo will now be resized to the dimensions you entered.

Editing your photos can seem intimidating at first, but with practice and patience, you can easily improve your photos with just a few taps. Remember, the key to good photo editing is to be subtle and focus on bringing out the natural beauty of the photo rather than trying to create something that isn't there.
