Tips for Better Crops
- Rule of Thirds: Position important elements along the lines that divide your image into thirds
- Leave Breathing Room: Don't crop too tightly around subjects - leave some space around the edges
- Consider the Platform: Different platforms display images differently, so crop with the final destination in mind
- Maintain Resolution: Cropping reduces image size, so start with a high-resolution original when possible
Privacy Guarantee
All image cropping happens directly in your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server. Once you close the page, all data is gone - we have no way to access your photos.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I undo a crop?
Before downloading, you can click "Reset" to clear your selection and start over. After downloading, you would need to re-upload the original image to crop differently.
What image formats are supported?
Our cropper supports JPG, PNG, and WebP images. The output format matches your input format to maintain compatibility.
Is there a size limit?
Since all processing happens in your browser, there's no server limit. However, very large images may be slower to process depending on your device.
Can I crop multiple images?
Currently, the cropper works with one image at a time to give you precise control over each crop. For batch operations with the same dimensions, consider using our resize tool instead.
