Frequently Asked Questions

Will cropping reduce image quality?

Cropping removes pixels from the edges of an image, which reduces resolution by definition. The remaining portion maintains its original quality. For the sharpest result, start with a high-resolution source image.

What aspect ratios are available?

Preset ratios include 1:1 (Instagram), 16:9 (YouTube/HD), 4:3 (standard photo), 3:2 (DSLR), and 9:16 (Stories/TikTok). You can also crop freeform.
