# How to open the crop screen and control crop options?
* Please go to the **"Upload rules"** tab while creating a field
* Click **+ Add a rule**, then under **Customer experience** select **Image editor**
* The image editor is now added to your field. Under **"Configure the image editor cropping behavior for uploaded files"**, choose how customers can crop their image:
* **Allow free-form cropping** — customers can drag any shape or size they like. Best for general use when you don't need a fixed shape.
* **Allow square-only cropping** — the crop is locked to a perfect 1:1 square. Great for square prints, coasters, and square mugs.
* **Allow circle-only cropping** — the crop is locked to a circle. Great for buttons, badges, round stickers, and pet tags.
* **Allow aspect ratio cropping** — the crop is locked to a specific ratio you choose, so every uploaded image matches your product's print dimensions.
* To turn the crop screen off, click the **trash icon** on the Image editor rule to remove it.
{% hint style="info" %}
Only one cropping style applies per field. The crop screen opens automatically after a customer uploads a file — if you allow multiple uploads, it opens once for each file. Make sure to test this on your storefront after saving.
