# Focal point crop

Allows to crop an image by defining the coordinates of the crop focal point. It is useful when you want to crop images where the coordinates of the point of interest are already known.

To set the coordinates of the focal point, use the **gravity=X,Y** operation where **X** and **Y** are the coordinates of the focal point (in pixels). Alternatively, you can set the coordinates as a percentage of the original image - **gravity=Xp,Yp** or **gravity=xc,yc**, where X,Y=0..100 and x,y=0..1.

<mark style="color:orange;">**gravity=X,Y**</mark>

<mark style="color:orange;">**gravity=Xp,Yp|xc,yc**</mark>

Please note that the focal point in **gravity=X,Y** has to be defined as coordinates **X** and **Y** of the full-sized origin image and not the scaled-down version.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cloudimage.io/transformations/image-operations/crop/focal-point-crop.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
