When to crop, when not to
- Crop for composition. Cutting tighter around the subject is often a stronger image than a fuller frame. Crop boldly — empty space and distractions disappear.
- Crop for aspect requirements.Social and ad platforms reject images that don't match their expected ratio. Use the preset that matches the placement.
- Don't crop too tightly if the image will be reused at unknown sizes. Each crop is a permanent pixel loss; keep the original and crop again later if you need a different framing.
- Resize separately. This tool keeps native resolution. Use the Image Resizer or Image Compressor after cropping if you also need to scale down or shrink the file.
Format choice
- JPG — best for photographs, broadly compatible. The quality slider controls file size; 85–95 is the sweet spot.
- PNG — lossless, supports transparency, bigger files. Use for screenshots, graphics with text, logos.
- WebP — smaller than JPG at the same quality, supports transparency. The best default for the web when compatibility allows.
Frequently asked
Will my crop be at full resolution?
Yes. The crop is computed against the original image pixels in memory, not the on-screen preview. A crop from a 6000×4000 photo at 1:1 produces a 4000×4000 output PNG/JPG/WebP — no preview-driven downscaling.
How does aspect-ratio lock work?
Pick a ratio (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, etc.) and the crop box snaps to that proportion. Dragging any corner keeps the ratio. Switch to 'Free' to drag without constraint. The starting box is centered on the image at the picked ratio.
Does my image get uploaded?
No. The crop runs through a HTML canvas in your browser, then the result downloads directly. Nothing is uploaded — close the tab and the image is gone.
