Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about online photo cropping.

How do I crop an image to a specific aspect ratio (1:1, 16:9, 4:3)?

Upload your image, click on the desired aspect ratio button (such as 1:1 Square, 16:9 Landscape, or 4:3 Standard), and adjust the bounding box over your subject. The crop box automatically locks to the selected proportion.

Can I crop photos for Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok?

Yes! Use 1:1 for Instagram posts, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails, 9:16 for TikTok/Reels/Shorts, and 4:5 for Instagram portrait feeds. All presets are built into the tool.

Does cropping reduce image resolution or photo quality?

Cropping trims unwanted outer pixels while retaining the exact native pixel sharpness of the selected area. There is zero re-compression degradation if exported as PNG, and customizable quality if exported as JPG/WebP.

Are my uploaded photos kept private?

Yes, 100% private. All cropping occurs locally in your browser memory via the HTML5 Canvas API. Your pictures are never uploaded to any remote server or stored in any database.
