The word crop means to “trim or cut back”. Most photography processing apps have a crop tool to trim unwanted areas of an image, such as excess negative space or distractions, i.e. people, road signs, etc. Cropping can also be used to make an image smaller (in pixels) and to alter the image’s aspect ratio, i.e. the width and length of an image.
