Can I call a cropped image a crop-out?

Question

I'm sure everyone has seen the ubiquitous memes of Bernie Sanders.
I wanted to ask whether I can call the cropped out image a crop-out? It sounds intuitive but it's not listed in the dictionary with that definition.
Example sentence: Everyone's using the Bernie crop-out to make memes.
If crop-out is not a legitimate word, what's an appropriate alternative?

Some Guy · Answer

You would not use "crop out", most people just use cropped image, or just plain image. Also, since a lot of cropped images are memes, people sometimes use "meme" as a substitute for cropped image. So, your example sentence can be written as:
Everyone's using the cropped image of Bernie to make memes.
Everyone's using that image of Bernie to make memes.
Everyone's using the Bernie meme.
