Frequently Asked Questions
Does cropping reduce image quality?
Cropping itself does not reduce quality — it simply removes parts of the image. However, cropping to a very small area from a low-resolution image will result in a smaller, lower-resolution output. Always start with the highest resolution source available.
Can I crop to an exact pixel size?
Yes. You can enter exact pixel dimensions for the crop area to get a precisely sized output image, or use aspect ratio presets and then resize to your target dimensions.
Is my image uploaded to your server?
No. All cropping is performed locally in your browser. Your image never leaves your device and no data is collected.
What formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, WEBP, and GIF images are all supported. The cropped image downloads in the same format as the original, preserving transparency in PNG files.
