Why do I need to crop pictures that I upload?

I am uploading pictures of drills and when i do i am forced to crop the picture each time meaning i am missing some of the image. Why can I not just upload the image as it is?

Hi Daniel,

If you wish to upload images of drills and not lose any aspects with the crop function you can do so by following the steps below.

Go to 'Folders'
Click 'New'
Select 'Upload File', this way you can upload your images and you will not be required to crop the image.

Alternatively, you can use our new and improved ChalkboardHD or our Animator features to create your own drills. See below for videos to help you get started using our ChalkboardHD and Animator.
