Resize vs Crop: Which online tool do you need?

Use the Crop tool to cut areas from the image

PicMonkey's Crop tool lets you remove parts of your pic or video to hone in on preferred areas. Or, you can cut a square from a rectangle to change the shape and focal point.

Use the Resize tool to shrink or expand an image

Our Resize tool transforms your OG image or video while scaling it up or down. You can shrink or enlarge images to your heart's content for any purpose.
