Photo Block has a built cropping mechanism, which allows you to crop the photo with any aspect ratio you desire.

Accessing the Crop Option

To crop a photo, click on the "Crop" item in the menu bar. This will load the full-size image and show the available cropping options.

You're able to set the aspect ratio of the crop, as well as rotate the image if needed.

Setting the Crop Area

You can set the aspect ratio of the crop area by selecting the Ratio dropdown.

You can choose custom to add to your aspect ratio.

Aspect Ratio Locking

The Aspect Ratio is locked so that you can drag and resize the crop area in a predictable manner.

Clicking the "Unlock Aspect Ratio" button allows you to drag the resize the crop area as you see fit.

Applying the Crop

When you are done cropping, click on "Apply Crop." You're also able to undo any crop changes if the crop is not to your satisfaction.
