Cropping images in Prezi Present

You already found the right visual that will help you convey the message of your presentation, but somehow it still doesn’t fit. Luckily you can now crop your images within Prezi so they match your structure and layout perfectly with the help of the built-in image editor.

  1. Select an image and click Crop from the property bar. 
  2. Resize by dragging the corners of the image or choose from the presets.
  3. You can also click+drag the frame into position on your image. 
  4. When done, click the Crop button again or outside the image.


Cropping from the canvas (masking)

  1. To crop an image, first select it. 
  2. Click Crop from the property bar to enter crop mode. 
  3. From the corner of your image, drag inward until you’re happy with the crop.
  4. Alternatively, you can click the arrow near the Crop button to choose from common options such as 1:1, 16:9 or 4:3.
  5. You can also click+drag the frame into position on your image. 
  6. When done, click the Crop button again or outside the image.

Pro Tip: Need to crop your image into a circle? Try our Infographics tool to easily mask images into any shape. You can then download or save it directly to your Library for use in presentations. Learn more here.

Cropping an image from the image editor

After adding your image to the canvas, click to select your image and either:

  • Right-click on it and choose the Advanced image editing option from the context menu 
  • Select Edit image from the context menu to launch the built-in image editor.*

*Paid feature: The image editor is available for users with a Standard or higher Prezi plan. Luckily it’s a breeze to upgrade your license and get access to this and all the other great features our Prezi plans have to offer.

Crop presets

In the image editor, choose the Transform icon in the left sidebar. You can either use the crop presets to make your image square, 4:3,16:9 or fitting for social media.

Pro Tip: 16:9 is the aspect ratio of Prezi presentations so this option is useful if you want to use a separate background image for your frame or topic.

Click on the highlighted area on the image to move it and find the part of the image you would like to use.

Custom cropping

Drag any of the four white handlebars at the corners of the image to crop it and then move the highlighted area. You can also set the pixel-based width and length in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Rotating and mirroring

Use the icons under the image to mirror and rotate your image by 90° or click the 0° icon in the middle and drag the cursor along the dotted line to rotate the image. (You can also rotate your image later on outside of the image editor).

Use the Reset Default button if you change your mind or would like to start from the beginning. Once the image is good to go, click the Update button in the top right corner and you have your customized, perfectly fitting visual!
