Cropping images
When an image is added to the Media Library, you can choose how the image should be cropped based on size or dimensions. The Crop Featured Image tool allows you to crop the image for each option. You might want a different part of the image to be centered if it’s in portrait or landscape mode. You only need to adjust the crop for you image once, but you can change the crop for each instance.

If the image doesn’t immediately reflect the cropped settings, clear your browser’s cache.
For most browsers, you can clear your cache from the Settings or Options area. Most browsers have a Privacy or History section that contains the cache clearing option.
By default, the cropping tool automatically selects all images with the same dimensions, but you can individually select and deselect them. Uncheck the “Crop all images with same ratio at once” checkbox.
