You can find the image cropper in the following places: Blast Image and Video Element(s), the Image Gallery, the Content Story Image, the Content Authors editor, and Branding Image Settings.

When you're ready to crop your image, hover your cursor over any image - if the cropper is available, you'll see this icon in the top right corner:

Blast Elements

After uploading or linking an image to your Blast Image or Video Element(s), within your Element editor, you can do the following:

  1. Select a preset Aspect Ratio, or Set to a Custom Width & Height

  2. Zoom in/out

  3. Rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise/clockwise

  4. Resize and Move the cropper selection


Image Gallery

After an image is added to the Image Gallery, the option to Crop will be available from the Image Actions menu and the Image Details window.

Important: It is not possible to undo cropping an Image when selected from the Image Gallery. We recommend Duplicating the image before cropping, or making the crop selection after adding into a Blast.

  1. Select a preset Aspect Ratio, or Set to a Custom Width & Height

  2. Zoom in/out

  3. Rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise/clockwise

  4. Resize and Move the cropper selection


Content Story Images

After uploading or linking an image to the Story Image editor, you can do the following:

  1. Select a preset Aspect Ratio, or Set to a Custom Width & Height

  2. Zoom in/out

  3. Rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise/clockwise

  4. Resize and Move the cropper selection


Content Author

After uploading an image to the Content Authors editor, you can do the following:

  1. Rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise

  2. Zoom in/out

  3. Expand/Move the cropper


Branding Settings

Branding Images are set to specific dimensions, so while you can crop the desired area from a larger image, the dimensions listed under each section will be used to scale the image and maintain it's width and height.

  1. Zoom in/out

  2. Rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise/clockwise
