# How to: Crop an Image
This example shows how to crop an image using <xref:System.Windows.Media.Imaging.CroppedBitmap>.
<xref:System.Windows.Media.Imaging.CroppedBitmap> is primarily used when encoding a cropped version of an image to save out to a file. To crop an image for display purposes see the [How to: Create a Clip Region](/previous-versions/dotnet/netframework-3.5/ms746710(v=vs.90)) topic.
## Example
The following Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) defines resources used within the samples below.
[!code-xaml[imageelementexample#CroppedXAML1](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/ImageElementExample/CSharp/CroppedImageExample.xaml#croppedxaml1)]
The following example creates an image using a <xref:System.Windows.Media.Imaging.CroppedBitmap> as its source.
[!code-xaml[imageelementexample#CroppedXAML2](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/ImageElementExample/CSharp/CroppedImageExample.xaml#croppedxaml2)]
[!code-csharp[imageelementexample#CroppedCSharp1](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/ImageElementExample/CSharp/CroppedImageExample.xaml.cs#croppedcsharp1)]
[!code-vb[imageelementexample#CroppedCSharp1](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Wpf/ImageElementExample/VB/CroppedImageExample.xaml.vb#croppedcsharp1)]
The <xref:System.Windows.Media.Imaging.CroppedBitmap> can also be used as the source of another <xref:System.Windows.Media.Imaging.CroppedBitmap>, chaining the cropping. Note that the <xref:System.Windows.Media.Imaging.CroppedBitmap.SourceRect%2A> uses values that are relative to the source cropped bitmap and not the initial image.
[!code-xaml[imageelementexample#CroppedXAML3](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/ImageElementExample/CSharp/CroppedImageExample.xaml#croppedxaml3)]
[!code-csharp[imageelementexample#CroppedCSharp2](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/ImageElementExample/CSharp/CroppedImageExample.xaml.cs#croppedcsharp2)]
[!code-vb[imageelementexample#CroppedCSharp2](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Wpf/ImageElementExample/VB/CroppedImageExample.xaml.vb#croppedcsharp2)]
