Another friend ask me how to crop image in Mac OS X. Besides, he also mention he want to be able to crop image without buying any program. and I told him you can do this thru your Preview!
If you still remember, I wrote a post regarding how to resize image in Mac thru Preview. I also mention that Preview is able to do simple image processing task including image cropping.
To crop image in Mac OS X, follow the steps below:-

Thank you!! Thank you!!! this tip is very helpful.
unfortunately, there is no possibility in cropping the image to a specifig height or width, which you can do with ms paint. I really miss this feature in Apple’s standard software package 🙁
Thank the lords of kobol you made this post easy and simple to read and find the information i so desperately needed. THANK YOU SO FRAKKING MUCH!
Or instead of clicking ‘Select’ simply hit ‘Command –> A’ (selects the entire photo) and you can move the margins to wherever you prefer, hence cropping the photo (for square/rectangular cropping).
Thank you so so much for putting this guide up. I just wasted a ridiculous amount of time trying to find a simple piece of software to crop and resize images after photoshop decided to stop working. I was about to lose my mind before I read your post!
Right click on the Toolbar of Preview and select “Customize Toolbar” check if u have those button if no then probably ur preview is old version that doesnt support this …
