Crop presets

Photomator offers a variety of Crop presets that allow you to freely resize the crop box, choose from available aspect ratios, or create a new crop preset by entering a custom aspect ratio. You have the freedom to manage the Crop presets as you like — you can add new custom presets or remove the ones you no longer use.
