biochemadda,

If you mean what you may mean, namely to actually crop a raster image to a smaller pixel x pixel size with the help of Illy, you may create a rectangle with the desired size and position (remember to make it in whole pixel values), then select it along with the image and Object>Clipping Mask>Make.

This will merely make the outlying parts invisible, but then there is the dirty destructive deed, with the Clipping Mask selected:

1) In the Transparency palette/panel dropdown list select anything but Normal (Multiply is fine; this step may be unneeded in your version, you may try without it);

2) Object>Flatten Transparency, just keep the defaults including 100% Vector;

3) Shudder (optional, unless unavoidable).

This will crop thre image to the Bounding Box of the Clipping Path (the rectangle).

When you Export/Save for Web, the file size will reflect the new reduced size (depending on the settings).

To crop an image (by that word people usually mean a bitmaped image such s a photograph) is best done in photoshop if you want to reduce your file size.

Illustrator does have masking capability, to crop an image, but that will not reduce your file size any.

If your main objective is to reduce file size

Make sure you are linking not embedding an image
File >> Save As > and turn OFF pdf compatible as that significantly increases your file sizes. You only need pdf compatible, if you plan to place into InDesign or After Effects.
