EDIT SOLVED 

It can be found on the bottom of the page under the "transform" button which is super tiny and I just didn't see until someone pointed it out to me. 

 

Sometimes I need to crop my photos after they have been uploaded when I notice a bit of my floor beyond my backdrop paper is showing. I'm trying to crop the image but I'm no longer seeing an option to do so on the website. Usually I click into the images and it says something like "crop image" but it now only says "edit" and when I click that it opens up a new tool page where I can edit the brightness, contrast etc but there is no option to crop the image. Anyone have any insight or notice the same? Why would they remove this super useful tool? Hoping this is just a bug that is fixed soon! I usually photo and draft listings in large batches, so I've already deleted the photos from my phone and can't edit and re-upload. I would have to photo the item again, which is a total hassle.

Just found the answer.  No crop tool/icon like we had, but the CROP HANDLES are there so we can crop away. You do have to hit the TRANSFORM button first.  Boy am I relieved, since I use this tool all the time.

THE ANSWER!  We can still crop.  BUT in my case I have to do it from the Etsy App on my iphone.  They removed the CROP ICON (tool) but if you click "TRANSFORM" You won't see the word CROP but THERE ARE CROP HANDLES ON THE LISTING IMAGE.  SO...we can still crop, no problem. From the Etsy App.  But I cannot crop on my desktop. Wondering what others' experiences are.

Crop tool is there but it stinks. Old one was far better.

@JBPacrat I agree.  It's clunky and hard to see what it will look like in the shop.  It's rather time constuming to use right now while it's being figured out. 

I sure wish Etsy would test their programs out better before making them live and then fogetting about them.

Way to go, Etsy...continually making it harder and more complicated to list items. It now takes me twice as long to add a listing. I am really getting fed up with these changes for no good reason, just so that someone can justify their job.

Re: Has the Photo Cropping Tool been removed?

Doesn't work at all for me. The funny thing is that the only reason I use it is because ETSY changed their mind about having square primary photos so I was cropping every listing to rectangular. Now I'm just not going to do any of it. Thanks for another time waster.

I have it but it does not work for me either.  The little circle spins around for 2 minutes.  Then I get the RED BANNER that tells me that it didn't work and I should try again.

Re: Has the Photo Cropping Tool been removed?

is there any way to use the 'old' editor? Maybe a Chrome extention? It takes so much longer to crop now
