To customise the image crop selections on your instance of Brand Toolbox, view the Customising the default image sizes section below.

To configure your site to allow members to output their own custom sizes, view the Image restrictions and access help page.
 

Before editing the default crop sizes, please understand that the “Image crop formats” are contained within image crop “Groups”. The groups allow you to list common business-centric and social media sizes into easily recognisable groupings. Both the crop format and group name can be renamed and edited.

 

To add a new “Image Crop Format”:

1. Select Content > Settings (node) > Image Library (tab). Note that the Image Library tab may be hidden within the arrow list to the far-right of the menu.
2. Click the Group name or the Edit (pencil) icon next to the group name to reveal the existing image crop formats and click the (+) icon to add a new Image Crop Format.
   
   
   
   
3. Enter an image crop format name in the Text field, and the Width and Height in pixels.
4. ‘Save and publish’ after making the change.

The group name and the crop format names can also be edited in these screens.

 

To delete an “Image Crop Format” or “Group”:

1. Select Content > Settings (node) > Image Library (tab). Note that the Image Library tab may be hidden within the arrow list to the far-right of the menu.
2. Click the Group name or the Edit (pencil) icon next to the group name to reveal the existing image crop formats and click the Delete/Recycle bin icon.
   
   
   
   
3. ‘Save and publish’ after making the change.
