  3. Click on the “Edit” button in the top menu bar.

  4. Select the “Select” tool from the toolbar on the left.

  5. Use the mouse to drag a selection around the area that you want to crop.

  6. Click on the “Crop” button in the toolbar on the left.

  7. The selected area will be cropped and the rest of the image will be removed.

  8. Save the cropped screenshot by going to the “File” menu and selecting “Save” or “Save As.”

Please note that you can also use third-party image editing software, such as Photoshop or GIMP, to crop a screenshot. The steps may vary slightly depending on the app that you are using. Consult the documentation for the app for specific instructions on how to crop an image.
