- 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.
- Is this a free crop / cut-photo tool?
- Yes. You can free-crop (custom rectangle) or use presets. “Cut photo” searches usually mean the same action: remove unwanted edges and keep the framed subject.
- 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.
