Frequently Asked Questions
Can I crop to specific social media sizes?
Yes. The cropper includes presets for common social media dimensions including Facebook posts, Instagram squares, Twitter headers, and YouTube thumbnails.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No, cropping an image simply removes the outer pixels. The remaining pixels maintain their original quality and sharpness.
What is a 16:9 aspect ratio?
16:9 is the standard widescreen aspect ratio used by YouTube, most modern TVs, and computer monitors. It is wider than it is tall.
How do I make a circular profile picture?
While our cropper outputs rectangular/square images, cropping your image to a perfect 1:1 square is the required first step before uploading it to Instagram or Twitter as a circular profile photo.
Can I crop multiple images at once?
Currently, image cropping requires manual visual adjustment for each photo to ensure the subject is perfectly framed. We recommend cropping images one by one.
What happens to the file size after cropping?
Because you are deleting pixels from the image, the resulting file size will almost always be smaller than the original.
Can I flip or rotate the image before cropping?
Our current version focuses purely on cropping and resizing. You may need to rotate the image in your operating system\'s default photo viewer first.
Are my photos uploaded to a cloud server?
No! All cropping operations are performed locally inside your web browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your privacy is 100% guaranteed.
What formats does the cropper accept?
You can upload and crop standard web formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, and WebP.
Is there a limit to how many images I can crop?
No. Our tool is completely free, unlimited, and requires no registration or subscription.
