Picture Cropping Tutorial Description
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
PowerPoint has A LOT of default image cropping tools (including what I call the image cropper command) to make cropping pictures in PowerPoint extremely fast and easy.
So easy in fact, that you'll likely never need to use or learn Photoshop, as so many of the standard picture edits you need can instead be done faster, and more easily directly in PowerPoint.
You can even automatically crop your images perfectly to fit the 4:3 or 16:9 resolutions!
The picture cropping commands covered in this PowerPoint tutorial include:
The Crop Command - the basic feature that allows you to remove the pieces of your photo that you don't want to present on your slide.
Crop Adjustment Commands - two different ways you can re-position your photo inside of the cropped areas of your photo (see tutorial for your options including the XY Offset commands).
Picture Reset Command - allowing you to uncrop your images back to the original picture you started with. This is EXTREMELY useful when you inherit someone else's slides and you don't like how they've cropped their images, allowing you to quickly and easily undo their edits and start over again (it happens all the time).
Crop to Shape Command - allowing you to crop a picture to a circle, triangle or other PowerPoint shape. From there you can re-position your photo within the cropped area.
The Intersect Command - allowing you to more quickly crop your images to a specifically sized PowerPoint shape like a circle, triangle or arrow.
Crop to Aspect Ratio (the image cropper command) - allowing you to automatically crop your photos to the 4:3 or 16:9 resolution slide sizes. That way you can just resize your photo to perfectly fit your entire slide, regardless of whether you are printing in the 4:3 resolution or presenting in the widescreen 16:9 resolution format.
The beauty of the image cropper command (as I call it) is PowerPoint automatically sets the correct 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio frame, allowing you to then adjust what parts of your photo remain.
And as long as you have A LOT of negative space in your photo (sky, sand, or other general features), this cropping trick is the fastest and easiest way to create a full screen photo for your slide background.
That's because it requires no additional picture editing. The downside is, as you are basically just resizing your photo, everything in your photo gets bigger (which is not always ideal).
To learn how I built out around the photos in this PowerPoint tutorial at the end (instead of cropping the images down) see my new picture editing course for PowerPoint below.

Thank you so much, I was going crazeeeeee!
Glad that helped you out, thanks for the comment!
I learned a lot for a major presentation next quarter. Thanks much!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the comment, good luck with your big presentation.
Another cool trick for your images, is making them transparent so you can bleed things through them. You can see my blog post below for how to do that here: nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/make-picture-transparent/
Thanks for this. Was quickest fix and easiest to follow of all the tutorials I looked at for this. I'll save for future reference (and used already)

Thanks for that! We also made the video into a blog post if that is easier to navigate in the future for you. You can check it out here: nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/crop-pictures-in-powerpoint/
Such a great video, really clearly explained, thank you! Is there a way to free format crop to a shape which isn't in the shapes menu? As in something completely hand drawn. I'm trying through paint as well but end up with a white rectangular background, I swear this was possible on Windows 95!
Never mind, I just found this: czcams.com/video/OpjvNhsM0aQ/video.html

The name is too precious to throw around over Power Point "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain." Exodus 20:7
Thx
Any time
Avoid using the default red color while writing using the graphic tablet. You can change it to white or yellow
Thanks for the feedback. I will give it a shot in my next video. 😀
love u
Glad the video helped!
can you tell me like how to umm crop like people into a thumbnail I have been trying to play but I don't have access to powerpoint do you have another way pls help
If you don't have PowerPoint you'll have to use one of the free cropping tools online. Canva might let you do that, but I'm not sure. If you can borrow someone's computer who has PowerPoint you can quickly do it there, and then right-click the pictures and save them to a thumbdrive.
if you mean cropping edges the way you want you can, drawing around and keeping what you want. i think most people look for this and this tuto dont explain it

Windows 365 has no merge button like your version?
In 365, they renamed Merge to be "Combine" other than that... it does the same thing.
how can I crop an image and then save it croped. Without the background?
Great question. After you crop your photo, you want to select the Picture format tab, Compress Images, select Delete Cropped Areas from image and then click Ok. That will permanently remove the cropped areas from the photo.
For detailed steps and opinions about the different compression options, check out my blog post here: nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/powerpoint-compress-images/
I forgot to mention, instead of cropping out your background you can also just remove your PowerPoint in PowerPoint.
That allows you to use photos in all sorts of creative ways in PowerPoint. For details on how to do that, check out my blog post here: nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/remove-background-from-image/
@@Nutsandboltsspeedtraining , thank you for your answer. It is basically not possible to save an image without having the white ppt background. I just want to save a logo, without any background.
@@mariajauslin1107 If you save your pictures as a PNG, it will save with a transparent background. If you save it as a JPG, it will always have a white background. So after you make your image in PowerPoint, use Paste Special to paste it as a PNG file and that should do the trick. If you are still stuck, send me the deck you are working on and I will help you out. taylor@nutsanboltsspeedtraining.com
@ 2:23 so show us panning the photo "if we want to do it ourselves".....
how to crop picture in group shape ?
What do you mean by "group shape." Are you trying to crop a group of pictures? If you are trying to crop and resize multiple pictures at the same time, you can do that using the Picture Layout command. Check out the fourth trick in the following video, where I show you exactly how to do that. czcams.com/video/05OW0Ce8rT8/video.html
4:00 I didn't understand what you said
When using the Intersect command, you need to (1) first select the image you want to keep, then (2) select the shape you are intersecting it to. If you do it the reverse, you will get the opposite result. Hopefully, that helps clarify. Cheers!
You go waaaay too fast. I'll have to watch this many times. I have a question. I'm trying to put together a intro of myself for work. I have the pics I need on my computer already. Do I need to crop in MS paint first, (which I'm not good at), or can I just crop in PP? I only have a week to put this together.
I'm trying to slow down (and drink less coffee). My recommendation would be to just do all the cropping and resizing inside of PowerPoint. After you crop the pieces, you can then compress the photos to save space. See my image compression guide here: nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/powerpoint-compress-images/
@@Nutsandboltsspeedtraining I came here to say the same thing...but your channel is SPEED training...so I decided against it :) Great video Mr. Gonzalez.
