FAQ

Q1: Can I crop to exact pixel dimensions?

Yes! Use 'Custom' mode to enter exact width and height in pixels for precise cropping.

Q2: What aspect ratios are available?

We offer common presets including 1:1 (square), 4:3, 16:9, and social media sizes for Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

Q3: Will cropping reduce image quality?

Cropping doesn't compress the image. The cropped area maintains the original quality. However, the final image will have fewer pixels since you're removing parts of the image.

Q4: Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. All cropping happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your images never leave your device.

Q5: Can I undo a crop?

Before downloading, click 'Reset Selection' to start over. Once downloaded, the crop is final, but your original file remains unchanged.
