Cropping a photo

Open a photo, switch to Edit mode in its viewer, and tap the crop icon. A rectangular frame appears over the photo with a grab handle at each corner.

The crop frame, with a grab handle at each corner

There's no separate toggle between "move the photo" and "resize the frame" — AIPPics figures out what you mean from where your finger lands:

  • Touch near one of the four corners → you're resizing the frame.
  • Touch anywhere else (or add a second finger) → you're panning/zooming the photo underneath the frame, same as regular viewing.

When you're happy with the crop, tap the checkmark. You'll be asked to choose:

  • Overwrite Original — replaces the photo with the cropped result.
  • Save as New Photo — keeps the original untouched and saves the crop as a separate new photo.
  • Cancel.

The "Save Cropped Photo" choice

This works the same way across Local, Desktop, and SMB.
