GraFx Studio - GraFx Genie-powered Smart Crop

rn_icon

Powered by our AI assistant GraFx Genie, CHILI GraFx now instantly identifies the subject and the Point of Interest (POI) within the image then automatically crops it to fit the frame – whether for social media, digital ads, or print.

And while Smart Crop automates precision at scale, you stay in control: You can fine-tune the subject position within the frame, crop manually, or override the image's AI-generated data with your preferred adjustments.
