You may want to remove useless borders or information to improve your image, or you may want the focus of the final image to be a specific detail for example. + +In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to cut out an image in GIMP quickly and without compromising the precision. Let’s see. + +### How to crop images in GIMP + +![][2] + +#### Method 1 + +Cropping is just an operation to trim the image down to a smaller region than the original one. The procedure to crop an image is straightforward. + +You can get to the Crop Tool through the Tools palette like this: + +![Use Crop Tool for cropping images in GIMP][3] + +You can also access the crop tool through the menus: + +**Tools → Transform Tools → Crop** + +Once the tool is activated, you’ll notice that your mouse cursor on the canvas will change to indicate the Crop Tool is being used. + +Now you can Left-Click anywhere on your image canvas, and drag the mouse to a location to create the cropping boundaries. You don’t have to worry about the precision at this point, as you will be able to modify the final selection before actually cropping. + +![Crop Selection][4] + +At this point hovering your mouse cursor over any of the four corners of the selection will change the mouse cursor, and highlight that region. This allows you to now fine-tune the selection for cropping. You can click and drag any side or corner to move that portion of the selection. + +Once the region is good enough to be cropped, you can just press the “**Enter**” key on your keyboard to crop. + +If at any time you’d like to start over or decide not to crop at all, you can press the “**Esc**” key on your keyboard. + +#### Method 2 + +Another way to crop an image is to make a selection first, using the **Rectangle Select Tool**. + +**Tools → Selection Tools → Rectangle Select** + +![][5] + +You can then highlight a selection the same way as the **Crop Tool**, and adjust the selection as well. Once you have a selection you like, you can crop the image to fit that selection through + +**Image → Crop to Selection** + +![][6] + +#### Conclusion + +Cropping precisely an image can be considered a fundamental asset for a GIMP user. You may choose which method fits better to your needs and explore its potential. + +If you have any questions about the procedure, please let me know in the comments below.
