# normalizedCropRect

A rectangle for requesting a cropped version of the original image.

```
var normalizedCropRect: CGRect { get set }
```

## Discussion

To request a cropped image, specify the crop rectangle in a unit coordinate space relative to the image. In this coordinate system, the point `{0.0,0.0}` refers to the upper left corner of the image, and the point `{1.0,1.0}` refers to the opposite corner regardless of the image’s aspect ratio.

This property defaults to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGRectZero>, which specifies no cropping.

If you specify a crop rectangle, you must also specify the [`PHImageRequestOptionsResizeMode.exact`](/documentation/Photos/PHImageRequestOptionsResizeMode/exact) option for the [`resizeMode`](/documentation/Photos/PHImageRequestOptions/resizeMode) property.
