Frequently Asked Questions

Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device.
Can I set exact pixel dimensions?
Yes. You can drag the crop area visually or enter exact pixel coordinates for precise control.
Does cropping reduce quality?
No. Cropping simply removes the unwanted portions. The remaining area retains its original quality.
What formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, and WebP. The output maintains the same format as the input.
Can I crop to specific aspect ratios?
Yes. Select the area visually on the image preview. You can adjust the crop rectangle to any proportion you need.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No. Cropping simply removes the outer portions of the image. The remaining area retains its original quality and resolution.
Can I crop images on my phone?
Yes. The visual crop tool works on touch screens. Drag the crop area with your finger to select the region you want to keep.
What output formats are supported?
The cropped image is saved in the same format as the original (JPG, PNG, or WebP), preserving format-specific features like transparency.
Can I crop to a specific aspect ratio?
Yes. Use the aspect ratio presets (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, etc.) or drag the crop rectangle to any custom proportion. The tool maintains your selected ratio as you resize the selection.
Does cropping reduce the image resolution?
Cropping removes pixels from the edges, so the output has fewer total pixels. However, the remaining pixels retain their original quality and sharpness — no recompression occurs.
Can I crop multiple images at once?
The crop tool processes one image at a time for precise visual control. Each image may need a different crop area, so individual processing gives you the best results.
How do I crop an image to exact pixel dimensions?
Draw the crop area visually on the preview. The tool displays the exact pixel dimensions of your selection. For precise sizes, combine cropping with our Resize tool.
