"Crop" also carry the baggage that some part of the image is cut off, which is not the case. If the selected object(s) is bigger than the page, the page could increase in size.
The word "fit" carry the meaning that the size is adjusted to match the content.

"resize" tends to carry some baggage of scaling things around. If anything, we might actually want to use "Crop" instead, since that implies cutting of as opposed to squishing down.
