Are you tired of having to transfer your photos to a computer just to crop or rotate them? Well, guess what? You can easily do it right on your Android device.
Let’s dive into this little trick that will make your photo editing life a whole lot easier on your Android. If you have an iPhone, learn how to crop, rotate or make your bad photos look picture-perfect by clicking here.
Step 1: Open your Gallery
First things first, open your photo gallery. You know that place where all your precious memories are stored? Yep, that’s the one. Go ahead and launch it.
Step 2: Choose the photo you want to edit
Scroll through your gallery and find the photo you want to spruce up. Maybe it’s a stunning sunset, a goofy selfie, or a mouthwatering plate of food. Whatever it is, tap on it to open it up.
Step 3: Access the editing options
Look for the little pencil icon. It’s like your magic wand for photo editing. Tap on it.
Step 4: Crop like a pro
Now, select the crop icon. It’s usually represented by a square or rectangle. Once you’ve done that, a border will appear around your image, and you’ll see the crop tool in action. Drag those corners and edges to crop the image exactly how you’d like it.
In order to crop the photo in a different aspect ratio, tap the border icon, then select whatever aspect ratio you’d like, such as 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, or full.
Step 5: Play with perspective
Sometimes, a little change in perspective can make all the difference. Tap the perspective icon. Decide whether you want to shift the perspective horizontally or vertically. Then hold and drag those lines below the image left or right to achieve the desired effect.
Once you’ve made all your changes, tap Done. Your changes are now saved. If you’re not feeling it, tap Cancel to discard any edits.
Step 6: Rotate, rotate, rotate
Feeling a bit tilted? Tap the rotate icon (usually a circular arrow) to spin your image 90 degrees. For precise adjustments, hold those lines below the image and slide them left or right to shift the rotation.
Step 7: Save or revert
If you accidentally went overboard, hit Revert to undo everything. Finally, when you’re absolutely thrilled with your creation, tap Save.
And there you have it. No more wrestling with clunky software or waiting for your computer to do the heavy lifting. With these simple steps, you can crop and rotate your photos right on your Android device. Whether it’s straightening that horizon or giving your selfie a fresh perspective, you’re now armed with the editing prowess of a pro.
