# Make Cropping Optional?

 * Is it possible to add a setting to make cropping images optional? I’ve been using
   the plugin for a while and all of my avatars are 200×300 pixels in size. (This
   is the preferred size for my site.) Now when I try to update an avatar, I’m forced
   to use 200×200. I realize a lot of users want the ability to crop images and 
   it’s a great feature but some of us have different use cases.

 * [@marklippert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marklippert/) Thanks for the
   suggestion. I agree, I think we should add a `Skip cropping` button and maybe
   be less strict on the sizes we allow for cropping (seems to be stuck at always
   being a square right now). I’ve opened an [issue](https://github.com/10up/simple-local-avatars/issues/128)
   on Github to track this.
