To crop an image in Inkscape, you use the "Clip" function. Here's how:
- Draw a shape: Create a vector shape (e.g., rectangle, circle, star, or a custom path using the Bezier tool) over the portion of the image you want to keep. This shape will define the cropping area.
- Select both the image and the shape: Ensure that both the image and the cropping shape are selected. You can do this by clicking and dragging a selection box around both objects or by holding down the Shift key and clicking on each object individually.
- Apply the Clip: Go to
Object > Clip > Set. This will crop the image to fit inside the shape.
After applying the clip, only the portion of the image that was within the shape will be visible. You can adjust the shape later to modify the cropped area.
