To know how to crop, you need to know how to mask in Adobe XD. Masks are usually used to show a specific portion of a layer or image on the other layer. The process of masking an image in Adobe XD is given below with detailed steps:

Choose Image: Choose the particular image that you want to mask. To do that, you need to import the image to the canvas and then choose or select it.

Draw Shape: Draw the required shape that you want to crop in Adobe XD from the image. There are few shapes already present at the left side panel like Square, Circle and Triangle. There is also an option for custom lines to create the outline of your required shape by joining the lines.

Mask the Shape: Now, you have to select both the shape and the image layer then select Object > Mask with Shape. Or you can use the short cuts CTRL + Shift + M (For Windows) and CMD + Shift +M (For Mac).

The masked object will be created with a mask icon on the layer panel. It is not a destructive operation, so losing the whole image or not making any changes. The layers do not get deleted, which allows you to edit later if you want. Selecting the masked object by double click, you are now able to move the masking shape or the masked layer to get your required result.

Unmask (Just in case): Disable masking from the masked object by selecting the object, select Object > Ungroup Mask. Or you can use the shortcut CTRL + Shift + G (for Windows) and CMD + Shift +G (for Mac).
