The present disclosure describes techniques of cropping an image. The techniques comprise determining a position of a border of a control in a display area of a display screen, wherein the control is configured to crop the image; adjusting a size of a cropping area in response to determining that the border of the control reaches a first target position while dragging the control, wherein the cropping area is an area enclosed by the border of the control; displaying the cropping area at a second target position of the display area when the dragging ends; and adjusting a display position of the image to make a center of the image coincide with a center of the cropping area or make the center of the image approach the center of the cropping area along a specified path.
