Frequently Asked Questions

How do I crop an image to a specific aspect ratio like 1:1 or 16:9?

Click one of the aspect ratio presets (1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2, 9:16) before dragging your selection — the crop box will automatically lock to that ratio as you drag.

Can I crop a free-form rectangle instead of a fixed ratio?

Yes — keep the "Free" option selected (it's the default) and drag any rectangle shape you want on the image.

What's the difference between cropping and resizing?

Cropping removes part of the image to keep only the area you select. Resizing scales the entire image up or down without removing any content. Use the Resize tool if you want to change dimensions without cutting anything out.

Is the cropped image the same quality as the original?

Yes — cropping just selects a region of the original pixels and copies them directly to a new canvas, so there's no quality loss from the crop operation itself.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere when I crop it?

No. Cropping runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — your image is never uploaded to a server.
