Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?: No. All image processing runs entirely in your browser on your device. Your files are never uploaded, stored, or transmitted to any server.
Can I crop to a custom aspect ratio?: Yes. Use freeform mode for any rectangle, or pick a preset ratio for common formats like Instagram square or widescreen video.
Does cropping reduce image quality?: Cropping removes pixels outside the selection but does not recompress the remaining area. Quality loss only occurs if you later export to a lossy format at low quality.
How do I crop for an Instagram post?: Select a 1:1 aspect ratio for feed posts, or 4:5 for portrait feed images. Position the subject centered with safe margins for mobile cropping.
Can I crop after rotating an image?: Yes. Rotate first to straighten the horizon, then crop to remove empty corners and finalize composition.
What is the difference between crop and passport photo tool?: This tool is general-purpose cropping. The Passport Photo tool adds country-specific size templates and head-position guides for ID photos.
Will cropping change the file format?: You can export in your chosen format. PNG preserves transparency; JPG is smaller for photos without alpha channels.
