Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tool upload my images to a server?

No. All image processing happens in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images never leave your device. We have no access to your uploaded images. AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini cannot access or crop your private photos.

What image formats are supported?

Input: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF (first frame), and BMP. Output: PNG (lossless, best for graphics with text), JPG (smaller file size, best for photos), and WebP (modern format with best compression).

What aspect ratio presets are available?

Free-form (no lock), 1:1 Square, 4:3 Standard, 3:2 Classic, 16:9 Widescreen, 21:9 Ultrawide, 9:16 Portrait, 4:5 Instagram Portrait, 2:3 Print. Plus social media presets: Instagram Square, Instagram Portrait, Facebook Cover, Facebook Post, Twitter Header, Twitter Post, LinkedIn Cover, and YouTube Thumbnail.

Can I rotate or flip the image while cropping?

Yes. Use the rotate buttons to turn the image 90 degrees left or right. Use the flip buttons to mirror the image horizontally or vertically. Rotation and flip are applied before cropping.

Is this different from the Image Resizer tool?

Yes. The Image Resizer changes the overall dimensions of the entire image (making it larger or smaller). The Image Cropper lets you interactively select a specific region of the image to keep, removing unwanted areas from the edges. They solve different problems — use both together for complete image preparation.

How is this better than using AI chatbots to crop images?

AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) cannot process image pixels. They cannot show an interactive crop selection, cannot respect aspect ratios, and cannot output a properly cropped image file. This tool uses the deterministic HTML5 Canvas API for pixel-perfect cropping every time — no AI, no hallucination, no errors.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no hard file size limit. Very large images (over 8000 pixels per dimension) may cause slow performance due to browser memory limits. For best results, use images under 20MB. The tool processes everything client-side, so performance depends on your device's available memory.
