Resize or crop: which should you choose?
Resizing changes an image’s pixel dimensions. It is useful when a website or form asks for a specific width or height. Keeping the aspect ratio locked helps prevent stretching.
Cropping changes the visible composition by removing the edges. Choose cropping for square, portrait or widescreen framing, and verify that important subjects are not cut off.
Each tool has its own instructions and limitations. Check the output before using it in a professional project.
