  Hi @spresinal17, are you trying to crop the images, resize them on the page, or have them take up less space in your media library? Let us know what you have in mind, and we’ll point you in the right direction.

  Take up less space. For instance from 3000 x 1500 down to 800 x 400. I see I can rotate crop and flip but not edit those numbers.
  Thanks

  Thanks for clarifying. There are no image editing tools built into WordPress.com, so you won’t be able to change those image file sizes directly in your media library.

  You’ll need to resize those images elsewhere and reupload them to your media library, re-attach them to any posts, and delete the larger originals. We have some information here on how to do this:

  Hope that helps you get started!
