Cropp.me – Automated Image Cropping

When you’ve got multiple images to resize and edit, you don’t always have the time to go through each file individually and make sure your crops aren’t cutting out any people or important objects. Cropp.me is a tool that does the cropping for you. The automated image cropper has the ability to single out the most “interesting” area of any photo and crop the image in a way that brings that interesting area into focus.

The point of using Cropp.me is to make image cropping and editing as quick as possible, so it makes sense that getting started using the web-application is a breeze. Just upload the images you want to crop, tell Cropp.me what size these images should be – understanding that you can select an output size, or define a custom size – and then sit back while Cropp.me does the cropping. In very little time, Cropp.me will crop your images and provide you with a preview of the work the web-app has done. If you’re satisfied with the crops, you can click “Download All Cropps” to download a .zip file with your images to your desktop right away.

The pre-determined sizes that Cropp.me encourages you to choose from were created for a reason. These sizes are based on the preferred image sizes on many social media sites, which makes Cropp.me an excellent tool to use when you’re trying to create the perfect Facebook timeline cover photo or a great avatar image on Twitter.
