Our Thoughts

While this editor is extremely easy to use, it can only be used on photos that don't need cropping. These include posters or photos to add onto the pages of your site or in some cases, councillor or staff photos.

It is not appropriate for resizing carousel, heading image or brick photos as these often need to be cropped in order to have the right proportions for the website. To crop photos, please see one of our other image editing guides.
