Seam Cutter: tool to crop out middle sections of images

Why it matters for readers: Shows a simple, clever approach to a practical image-editing need you might not have seen before.

  • Seam Cutter creates a horizontal or vertical cut across an image and lets you slide the two sides relative to each other.1
  • It effectively lets you crop out a section in the middle of an image, rather than trimming edges.1
  • Simon Willison built the tool because he often stitches screenshots with the Tailor app and sometimes needs to remove a middle section, such as an irrelevant prompt in a transcript.1
