Abstract
An image providing system capable of quickly providing a plurality of different cropped images is disclosed. The image providing system acquires position information about a position of a user designated by the user. The image providing system determines a range of an image that was captured by an image capturing unit, the range corresponding to the position information as a cropping range, before the image capturing unit starts a series of image capturing in which the image capturing unit captures a plurality of images. After the series of image capturing is started, the system applies cropping that cuts out a part of a captured image based on the cropping range. During the series of image capturing, the system provides a cropped image to which the cropping has been applied in a way in which a user can obtain the cropped image.
