The short answer
Why use Hexagon Crop?
Hexagon tiles fit together edge to edge, so a set of hexagon photos reads as one group on a team page or a game board, and every tile comes out the same size if you keep the width the same.
This is a regular six-sided hexagon with a point at the top and the bottom and flat sides on the left and right. It sits inside a square frame, so the PNG is square (1200 × 1200 by default) and two narrow strips down the left and right edges end up transparent along with the four corners.
Points-up hexagons are the usual choice for honeycomb layouts on team pages and badges. If your layout needs flat tops, turn the finished PNG 90 degrees with Rotate; the transparent corners stay transparent.
The shape is narrower than the frame, so a logo with a long wordmark loses its ends. Frame only the symbol, or give the logo room on both sides with Square Image before you crop. For a set of matching tiles, export every photo at the same width.
