How to crop an image in your Powtoon

You can crop any image on a slide in your Powtoon. This works for images you upload yourself and for images from the Powtoon media library.

How to crop an image

1. On your slide, select the image you want to crop.
   ► The image becomes active and its editing controls appear in the toolbar above the stage.
2. Click Crop in the toolbar.
   A dashed rectangle appears over the image. The area inside the dashed border is the default crop selection.
3. Drag the edges or corners of the dashed rectangle to adjust the crop area to the size and position you want.
4. Click anywhere outside the image to confirm the crop.
   The cropped image is displayed on the slide.

Note: Cropping is non-destructive within your editing session. If you need to adjust the crop again, select the image and click Crop to re-enter crop mode.

What you can and cannot crop

Cropping works on any static image element on a slide, including uploaded images and images from the Powtoon media library. Cropping is applied to the image as it appears on the slide and does not alter the original file you uploaded.
