How to crop a photo on a computer using Paint

We all have photo albums at home. In the 80s photos were printed at home, doing a long and tedious procedure, after which the photo took its place in the family album. In the 90s, photo salons opened, in which they began printing photos on special equipment. Since the mid-2000s, digital cameras have been on sale, which have now completely replaced the film cameras.

Thanks to digital cameras, photos can be freely stored on digital devices, including on a computer, creating their own albums there, which does not require printing a photo. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to catch a good shot, and if it can be done, someone or something superfluous may get into it, which needs to be cut off.

In order to crop a photo, you can use the free program that is included in the package of standard programs Windows - Paint. Paint is a simple program for processing images and photos. If you just need to crop a photo and not really bother with it, then Paint is the best option for you.
