The steps in this guide were performed on an image that was added into my document previously. This guide assumes that you already have an image in your document.

This article provides additional assistance on inserting pictures into Google Docs. Step 1: Go to your Google Drive at https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive and double-click on the document containing the picture that you want to crop. Step 2: Click on the picture once to select it.
Step 3: Click the Crop image button in the toolbar at the top of the window. Alternatively, right-click the picture and choose the Crop image option.
Step 4: Move the black handles on the picture to the points where you wish to crop the image. Once the crops are in the right place, press the Enter key on your keyboard to crop the picture.
