The crop is a rectangle you drag over the picture itself, with a thirds guide inside it and the rest of the image dimmed behind. Move it by its middle, resize it by any corner. What is inside the rectangle is exactly what gets written — no arithmetic, and no guessing at which part of the photo you meant.
The shape buttons lock the ratio while you drag: square for a profile picture or a grid tile, 3:2 for a print, 16:9 for a cover image, 4:5 for a portrait post. Free lets the rectangle be any shape at all. Changing the shape reshapes the rectangle that is already there rather than starting again.
Because the rectangle is held as a fraction of the picture rather than in pixels, the same crop can be applied across a batch of images that are not all the same size — select several in the list and they all take it. The result is the rectangle at full resolution: nothing is scaled on the way out, so a crop of a 4000-pixel photo is as sharp as the photo was.

Questions
Can I choose which part is kept?
Yes — that is the whole tool. Drag the rectangle where you want it and resize it by its corners; the dimmed area is what gets trimmed.
How do I crop to an exact ratio?
Pick one of the shape buttons first. The rectangle then keeps that ratio however you drag its corners.
Does cropping resize the image?
No. You get the rectangle at the resolution it already had. To make it smaller as well, resize it afterwards.
