To reduce the size of an image or to remove non-important aspects of an image. For example, you may have a picture of several people, but may only want to have a picture of one person from that picture. You could make a selection around that person and crop the image so only the person is the image.
Another common mistake seen on the Internet is users who scan a picture using a flatbed scanner and do not crop their image leaving a large portion around the image blank or white. Cropping the image so only the image is seen will help reduce the overall size of the image and increase the download times. The image to the right is a visual example of what a non-cropped image and cropped image may look like. As can be seen the original image has a lot of wasted space making the image visually larger but also larger in size it occupies on the computer. Cropping the image makes the image removes all unused
or unwanted portions of the image.
