Can’t Crop Image In Illustrator?
If you’re trying to crop an image in Illustrator and it’s not working, you’re not alone. This is a common problem, but luckily, it’s an easy one to fix.
The first thing you need to do is make sure that the image is selected. If it’s not selected, you won’t be able tocrop it.
Once the image is selected, go to the “Object” menu and select “Clipping Mask > Make.” This will create a clipping mask around the image.
Now you should be able to crop the image using the regular crop tool. Just select the tool and drag it over the portion of the image that you want to keep.
Here’s How To Fix It
If you’ve ever run into the problem of not being able to crop an image in Illustrator, you’re not alone. It’s a common issue that can be caused by a number of things, but luckily, there are a few easy fixes.
The first thing to check is that your image is actually selected. If it’s not, you won’t be able to crop it. Then, make sure that the “Cropping” option is turned on in the Options bar at the top of the screen. If it’s not, click the button to turn it on.
Next, take a look at your Crop Area tool. If it’s not set to “Image Size,” then you won’t be able to crop your image. To fix this, simply click on the drop-down menu and select “Image Size.”
Finally, make sure that your Resolution is set to 300 DPI. If it’s not, go to Image > Image Size and change it in the Resolution field. Once you’ve done all of this, you should be able to crop your image without any problems!
The Problem
If you’ve ever tried to crop an image in Adobe Illustrator, only to find that the crop box won’t budge, you’re not alone. Unfortunately, this is a common problem that crops up (pun intended) for many users. Here’s a quick fix that should take care of the issue.
The problem is caused by the “Isolation Mode” setting in Illustrator. By default, this setting is turned on, which allows you to isolate and edit individual objects within your image. However, it also prevents you from cropping the image as a whole.
To fix this problem, simply turn off the “Isolation Mode” setting by going to Edit > Preferences > General (Mac) or Edit > Preferences > Isolation Mode (Windows). Then try cropping your image again. It should work now!
The Solution
If you’re trying to crop an image in Adobe Illustrator and it’s not working, here’s a quick and easy fix.
First, open your image in Illustrator. Next, go to the “Image” menu and select “Tracing.” Then, click on the “Cropping” option and select the area you want to crop. Finally, click on the “Trace” button and your image will be cropped!
Why This Works
One quick way to crop an image in Adobe Illustrator is to use the Crop Image command. However, this command can sometimes be temperamental and may not work as expected. If you find yourself in this situation, there is an easy workaround that will allow you to crop your image without any problems.
Here’s what you need to do:
1.Select the image that you want to crop.
2.Go to the Object menu and choose Clipping Mask > Make.
3.Draw a shape over the portion of the image that you want to keep. This will be your “crop” area.
4.Make sure that the shape is in front of the image (you may need to use the Send Backward command to achieve this).
5.With both the image and shape selected, go to the Object menu and choose Clipping Mask > Make once again.
Your image will now be cropped!

Additional Resources
If you’re trying to crop an image in Illustrator and nothing is happening, it’s likely because you’re using the wrong tool. The Rectangle Tool (M) is for creating shapes and illustrations, not for cropping images.
To crop an image in Illustrator, simply select it with the Select Tool (V) and drag the corners to where you want them. You can also use the Artboard Tool (Shift+O) to resize your image. Keep in mind that this will change the size of your image, not just the visible portion.
