What is Crop and Resize

Crop & resize Suite allows you to change the size of an image in pixels or percent value without upscaling it. You can maintain the aspect ratio of the image or change it.

Key uses

Use Crop & resize Suite operations for:

• Fit image requirements on the e-commerce platforms or social media
• Remove unnecessary part of the image
• Add missing part of the image

Where to find Crop and Resize operations in Claid Studio

Once you're in your Claid's account, go to the Claid Studio Dashboard where you'll see the Crop and Resize tab:

Key controls

Crop

Crop supports dynamic sizing and is pixel-based. Adjust your design to standard ratios or set custom dimensions by manually selecting the crop area.

Resize

Resize allows you to adjust the size of your image while preserving its aspect ratio. It is possible by setting the expected dimension change in pixels or percentage in the Width or Height fields. Once you set one dimension value, the other will automatically adjust to keep the original image ratio:

Outpaint

This option generates a coherent part of an image to fit the specified dimensions, scaling the image until the larger side reaches the edge of the canvas first, then generating content on either the left-right or top-bottom sides symmetrically. This approach enables you to avoid zoomed-in effect which often happens when cropping the image.

Outpaint also allows to set custom width and height in pixels when Custom settings are selected:

⚠️ Outpaint fit type currently has size limitations: the target image size must not exceed 16.78 MP.

⚠️ When using Outpaint, output image aspect ratio should be less than 2:1.

💡 We have an extended version of Outpaint, Expand Suite, which provides more controls giving you more flexibility and predefined options for different social media and e-commerce platforms.

Canvas

Canvas places the input image on a canvas of the specified width and height without changing the aspect ratio and size of the input image. Extra space will be filled with a specified background color.
