Crop out any shape from a photo by drawing around it. Freehand crop (also called lasso crop) lets you trace the exact outline of a person, object or area and keep only what is inside, with a transparent background around it.
Use it to cut out an object for a collage, make a custom-shaped sticker, or remove an awkward part of a photo that a rectangle cannot avoid.
