# Can I adjust the position and size of the crop area manually?

## While you can manually set the aspect ratio using the crop tool, it's advisable to adhere to the native requirements when posting on social media platforms.

You have the flexibility to manually define any desired aspect ratio **by entering specific width and height values**.

However, it's advisable to consider adhering to the native aspect ratio requirements for optimal results when posting on social media platforms. Native aspect ratios ensure that your content seamlessly fits within the platform's layout, providing a more visually appealing and engaging experience for your audience.
