    Hi there,

    Not all themes give an option to crop the custom header image.

    The theme on your site, Colinear, recommends a header image of 1188 × 240 pixels big. But if you use an image that’s taller than that, it will show the full image.

    If you have a bigger image, but want it to be cropped while used as the site header, you’ll have to crop it before you upload it as the header. The media library does have some image editing tools you can use for this, but it’s better to use image editing software on your computer for this kind of change so you upload the already-cropped image file to the library instead.
