: Unconventional Crop In Illustrator I need to crop this image in such a way that the space below "submit your picture here!" is taken out, because I'm going to use that space for a "choose

@Caterina889

All digital images are rectangular. All images. There's no such thing as a non-rectangular digital image.

What you can do is create a transparent area within that rectangle. The transparency will make it seems as though there's an empty space when there actually isn't.

Illustrator, by default has a transparent background (even though it looks white in the application). If you save and artboard as a PNG24 file, then artboard background will not be there. You may need to rethink the format you are saving the image to.

For your particular usage, you probably don't even need transparency. You could use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to place the rectangular image behind your form and allow the form to sit on top of the image rather than trying to cut the image area.

Here is a very quick and dirty sample of this method.
