# Large View: Toolbar - Crop with Aspect Ratios
SharinPix allows you to crop an image from an album to a specified aspect ratio.
In this article, we will show you how to specify aspect ratios using:
1. [SharinPix Permission Object](#specify-aspect-ratios-using-sharinpix-permission-admin-oriented) (This method is suitable for admins)
2. [SharinPix Parameters](#specify-aspect-ratios-using-sharinpix-parameters-developer-oriented)
To crop an image to a specified aspect ratio, you first need to access the crop Editing mode by:
1\. Clicking on the image to access the large view:

2\. Selecting the **crop** option to activate the Editing mode:

3\. Accessing the **Aspect Ratio** feature from the Editing mode:

**Tip:**
For more information about the crop option or the features available in the Editing mode, refer to the previous article or click on the following link: [Large View: Toolbar – Crop](https://docs.sharinpix.com/documentation/features/user-interface/large-view-toolbar-crop)
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:**
The crop option can only be configured by either using a **SharinPix Permission record** or by **code implementation**.
{% endhint %}
## Specify Aspect Ratios Using SharinPix Permission (Admin-Oriented)
Aspect ratios can be easily specified using the SharinPix Permission object (an object allowing users to configure the features to be added or omitted from a SharinPix album).
{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip:**
For more information about the SharinPix Permission object, refer to the following article:
[SharinPix Permission object](https://docs.sharinpix.com/documentation/access-and-security/sharinpix-permission-object-how-to-create-and-assign-custom-permission)
{% endhint %}
To specify aspect ratios using SharinPix Permission:
* Create or edit a SharinPix Permission record
* In the **Toolbar** section, check the option **Crop images**. Then, enter the aspect ratios you intend to use in the **Crop ratio** section as demonstrated in the example below:
.png?alt=media\&token=8880d09f-2fa2-4fdf-9db3-a838a37174b9)
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:**
* The aspect ratios specified in the **Crop ratio** section should be separated by a semi-colon
* The aspect ratios are displayed in the same order as entered in the **Crop ratio** section
* The first value specified in the list will be applied by default when accessing the Aspect Ratio feature from the crop Editing mode
{% endhint %}
* Check the other features you want to apply to the SharinPix album and click save when done
{% hint style="info" %}
In the example above, the aspect ratios specified are **4:3** , **1:1** , **16:9** and **free**.
While the values **4:3**, **1:1** and **16:9** are self-explanatory, the '**free**' value looks foreign. This is because the 'free' value is predefined in SharinPix and it allows users to adjust the crop frame as desired.
{% endhint %}
You can also display labels in the **Aspect Ratio list** available from the **Editing mode** instead of the actual values.
To do so, simply use the following format in the **Crop ratio** section in your **SharinPix Permission r**ecord:
4:3|Banner;1:1|Square;16:9|Landscape;free|Free
.png?alt=media\&token=ae9bae25-d85c-4bcb-b2a5-0e3f6fb75ded)
The result is depicted in the example below:
.png?alt=media\&token=b8462530-6479-4d5a-94a6-859935fe557e)
## Specify Aspect Ratios Using SharinPix Parameters (Developer-Oriented)
Aspect ratios can also be specified using SharinPix Parameters and subsequently used in a SharinPix album wrapped within a Visualforce Page.
To specify aspect ratios using SharinPix parameters:
* Create an Apex Controller that will define the SharinPix album's parameters (including the part on aspect ratios specification) using the code snippet below:
```apex
public class SharinPixAlbumController {
public String parameters {get; set;}
public SharinPixAlbumController(ApexPages.StandardController stdCtrl) {
Id albumId = stdCtrl.getId();
Map params = new Map {
'abilities' => new Map {
albumId => new Map {
'Access' => new Map {
'see' => true,
'image_list' => true,
'image_upload' => true,
'image_delete' => true
}
}
},
'Id' => albumId,
'crop_ratio' => new List{'4:3','1:1','16.9','free'}
};
parameters = JSON.serialize(params);
}
}
```
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:**
* The crop ratio should be added at the **root**
* The aspect ratios should be specified in the following format:
'crop_ratio' => new List{'4:3','1:1','16:9','free'}
{% endhint %}
* Next, implement the Visualforce Page embedding the SharinPix album with the applied parameters using the code snippet below:
{% code fullWidth="false" %}
```apex
```
{% endcode %}
* Finally, add the Visualforce Page to the **Account** record layout so as to test the aspect ratios
