Before downloading an image file, Library Staff can select from a pre-determined crop template for social media platforms, or select a pre-determined aspect ratio to use as the crop.
Cropping a Single Image File
- Select the file thumbnail in the center pane and select Actions > Download
- Download the original file, or click Crop to crop the image before download
- Select a preset from the available options, or custom crop the image by selecting the Custom preset
4. If needed, make further adjustments to your image by resizing the crop overlay from each corner, or change the center-point of your cropped image by moving the crop overlay
5. Once your crop is complete, click Finish Cropping > Download. Your download will begin automatically.
Note: Cropping images on download does not alter the resolution of the image. The cropped file will always download at its original resolution. For example, if an image is originally uploaded at 300dpi, the file will download at 300dpi, even when cropped.
