How to: Crop Image with Paint.NET

Paint.NET is a free lite weight software. Normally I used it to crop image, webpage mock up and some simple stuff. Today I will write a very basic cropping function which might be helpful for you to crop an image with Paint.NET.

Step 1: Open your image file

Step 2: By using “Rectangle Select (Shortcut Key S)” then draw rectangle canvas to your desire area to crop. E.g. I wish to crop mountain head

Step 3:After you have confirm your canvas to crop, go to top menu and select “Image” -> “Crop to Selection” or you can press on shortcut key (Ctrl+Shift+X)

Step 4: I am done. I got my cropped image.

Isn’t that easy to crop an image in Paint.NET?
