Crop or Resize a Photo

When you submit a listing, the system automatically scales and crops all photos to system-standard dimensions. When scaled and cropped, the photo's aspect ratio is always preserved so that the photo does not appear stretched.

If the system determines that more than 5% of its area will be lost during automatic scaling and cropping, a Photo Cropping Alert flag displays on the photo thumbnail. You can ignore the flags and allow the system to perform automatic cropping, or crop photos manually. To crop manually, use the Crop action on the Photo Edit dialog box.

The Crop action applies to the photo currently displayed in the Edit Photo dialog box. The action toggles on and off. To enable cropping, click the Crop action. To exit cropping, click Crop again, or click Cancel.

When you enable cropping, the system grays out any portion of the photo that must be removed in order to match standard dimensions. To resize the photo, drag a corner handle in either direction. While you drag, the system constrains the photo to the correct aspect ratio. To complete the crop, click the Apply button. The system removes the grayed out portion and displays the cropped version of the photo.

Review the cropped photo. To permanently save the change and close the Edit Photo dialog box, click Save.
