Cropping Images Like a Pro: Composition Tips
Simple composition rules to make your cropped images look intentional, not accidental.

The rule of thirds
Place the main subject along imaginary lines that divide the image into thirds, rather than dead center — it tends to feel more balanced.
Crop tight for social media
Profile photos and thumbnails benefit from tighter crops that fill the frame with the subject's face or focal point.
Use the crop tool interactively
RookImg's Crop tool lets you drag and zoom directly on the image so you can preview the exact framing before exporting.
