Croping background - couldbeworse - 01-30-2024

The attached screenshot shows an image I am attempting to use as a logo for a website. However, whenever I add the image the banner increases in height. After playing around with the code and not being able to figure it out, I can only assume it's because of the background size. I've already scaled the image as large as I can. Is it possible to crop the red portion of the screenshot, so all I see is the image and none of the background?

Go to the top menu Image > Crop to Content, it will crop all the transparent area out

Thank you so much! 

I don't know why that never came up when I searched online. I even specifically searched for cropping. All I found was about scaling.

Or to customize make a rectangular selection then Image > Crop to Selection.

In this case why not using the crop tool? it's faster, one step only and no selection needed Wink
