To crop custom on Picsart, you utilize the Crop tool within the editor, which allows you to freely define your desired image area. This functionality is often referred to as "Free Crop" within the application, giving you complete control over the dimensions and composition of your photo.
How to Perform a Custom Crop in Picsart
Achieving a custom crop in Picsart is a straightforward process, primarily involving the Tools and Crop tool features.
Step-by-Step Guide to Custom Cropping

|---|---|---|
| 1. | Open Your Photo | Launch the Picsart app and open the image you wish to crop. |
| 2. | Access Tools | Scroll through the editor panel at the bottom of your screen and tap on Tools. This panel contains various editing functionalities. |
| 3. | Select Crop Tool | Now choose the Crop tool. This will activate the cropping interface. |
| 4. | Adjust Crop Area | You will notice a grid appear over your photo, with adjusters allowing you to select the crop area. These adjusters are typically handles on the corners and sides of the grid. |

- Revert: If you're not happy with the result, you can usually use the undo arrow or discard changes before saving.
