You can crop photos in Website Builder by specifying the width-to-height ratio you want to maintain, and then selecting the portion of the photo you want to keep. When you crop the photo, only the portion you selected remains.

You can also edit photos by rotating or flipping the image. For more information, see Rotating and Flipping Photos in Website Builder v6.

Website Builder keeps an original version of all your edited photos. You can restore the original photo at any time. For more information, see Restoring Edited Photos in Website Builder.
