You can apply any of these edits when uploading a new photo. Photos that have already been uploaded cannot be edited to prevent data from being altered and to ensure PlanRadar's purpose as a documentation tool.

The Photo Editor offers the same possibilities in the web app and mobile apps. So, we will add examples from the web app only.

Transform

The transform edit enables you to crop photos. Simply, drag the corners of the cropping square to resize it:
