Frequently Asked Questions
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No. Cropping simply keeps a subset of the original pixels at their original resolution - there's no resampling or quality loss involved.
Can I crop to an exact pixel size?
This tool uses a freeform drag-to-select interface rather than numeric input fields, so selections are made visually rather than by typing exact pixel coordinates.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The entire process runs locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.
What format is the output?
The result is downloaded as a PNG file, which preserves any transparency in the original image within the cropped area.
Can I undo a crop and try again?
Yes. Before clicking Apply Crop, you can drag a new selection as many times as you like - only clicking Apply Crop finalizes the result.
