Crop or rotate a photo

Cropping trims away the edges of a photo, so the part that matters fills the spot. Rotating turns it the right way up. Both happen right on the page.

Before you start

The photo has to be on a page first. The editing tools open from the page, not from your media library. If it isn't there yet, see Add or replace a photo.

Steps

1. Log in to your site editor and open the page with the photo.
2. Click the photo and open its settings from the small menu that appears. The same works for a photo inside a section background or a tab.
3. Find the photo's small thumbnail. Click the pencil icon on it. The image editor opens.
4. Click Crop. Crop by hand, or pick one of the preset shapes.
5. To turn the photo, look for the rotate control among the same transform tools.
6. If you don't like a change, use the undo arrow at the top. The redo arrow brings it back.
7. Click Save.
8. Publish. If you don't see a Publish button, tell us and we'll publish it for you.

Good to know

• Your original is safe. Saving makes a copy. It keeps the file's name and adds a short mix of letters and numbers at the end, like patio-8k2m4x.jpg. You will find the copy under Site Images in your media library.
• Click Close instead of Save and your changes are lost.
• You can crop, but you can't make the file bigger or smaller here. To choose a good size before you upload, see Pick the right photo size and file type.
• The zoom control at the top only changes how you view the photo while you work. It doesn't change the photo.
• If the photo is cut off in a way you didn't choose, see Fix a photo that looks cut off or blurry.
