From time to time, people ask me if there’s an app that will crop photos on their BlackBerry. The short answer would be yes. Even though there’s no photo editing app with cropping capabilities, there is most definitely a work around.

First you need to install CaptureIt on your BlackBerry. Capture It is a free app, developed by The Tech Mogul, that will essentially take a picture of your BlackBerry’s screen. Whenever you want to capture your screen, you just hit menu and select ‘CaptureIt’. Your BlackBerry will vibrate when the capture is taken, and the image will be added to the same folder that your new pictures go into.

Now, if you want to crop a photo, this is easy as well. Navigate to the photo you would like to crop, in your media folder. Then zoom in and move the photo around until only what you want is on your BlackBerry screen. Hit menu and select ‘Capture It’. Vuala!

CaptureIt obviously has uses other than cropping, but those uses are pretty much straightforward. The file size is extremely small at 13kb, barely taking up any space on your BlackBerry. Once you start using CaptureIt, you’ll never know how you went without it.

Note: If your first capture comes up blank, delete the app, pull your battery and re-download it.

You can download Capture It OTA at m.thetechmogul.com/ or head to their website for more info.
