Q&A for How to Crop an Image Using GIMP

Once you have finished cropping your picture. Just double click the picture, go to 'Image' and click on 'Crop to selection.' When you are satisfied you have the desired result, click on 'file', then click on 'Export to' and click on the file that you wish it to save it to. This can be confusing as there will be other saved files you have worked on, including the one you just cropped. Ignore everything else and just click the file that you want to save to; such as 'pictures' or 'Gimp Cropped' or whatever you chose to call your file. It is always best to create a file to save your cropped photos to first in your 'pictures' file.

Go to the top left and click "File," then look down the list and hit "Save" or "Save As." Alternatively, use Ctrl+S (Control and S at the same time) to save.

Use 'Save As' in the file menu, and click the 'File Type' option and select 'JPEG', 'JPG', '.jpg' or '.jpeg'.

Click 'Image > Crop to Content' to remove the surrounding blank space.
