Finding the crop tool
Once an image is in a slot, look for the crop button in the top-left corner of the label preview. Selecting it opens the Adjust Image panel for that image.
Select the label you want to edit
Click or tap the slot in the editor.

Cropping a portrait image
If your image is already portrait (taller than it is wide, such as a book cover), Adjust Image shows a simple drag-to-crop tool. A dashed box sits over your image. Drag it to choose what stays on the label, then Apply.
Cropping a landscape image
Landscape images, wider than they are tall, use the same drag-to-crop tool as portrait images. Since there's already more width than height to work with, you'll usually be trimming in from the sides rather than the top and bottom to fit the card's taller shape.
When your artwork is square, or close to it
Square is the most common shape you'll run into, since most album covers and podcast artwork are 1:1 (or close). A square image doesn't match the card's taller shape, and cropping it to fill the card cuts off the left and right sides, often the bit with a logo or title.
For images like this, Yoto Labels applies Color Fill automatically as soon as you add the image, so the slot never sits empty or oddly stretched. Open Adjust Image and you'll see two Fill Mode options:
- Color Fill: keeps the whole image visible and adds a band above and below it (no stretching). The default Auto color is sampled from the image edges; you can also pick a suggested swatch or use the color picker for a custom color.
- Crop to Fit: fills the full card by cropping inward instead, trimming the left and right of a square cover so the middle remains.
