Technical Notes
Image conversion quality depends on the codec, compression ratio, and color profile of the output format. Lossy formats like JPEG discard imperceptible data to reduce file size — at 80–85% quality this is typically invisible to the human eye. Lossless formats like PNG preserve every pixel but produce larger files. EXIF metadata (camera model, GPS coordinates, date) is preserved where possible, but some browsers and privacy settings may strip it during export. All processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly — no file ever reaches a server.

Composition and Ratios
Understanding Aspect Ration
Aspect ratio describes the proportional relationship between the width and height of an image. Common ratios include 4:3 (Standard Photography), 16:9 (Widescreen/YouTube), and 1:1 (Instagram/Avatars).
Device Guide
Desktop
Great for precision cropping with mouse control.
Mobile
Touch-friendly handles make it easy to crop photos on iPhone/Android.
Printing
Prepare photos for 4x6 or 8x10 frames.
The Art of Composition
Cropping is as old as photography itself. The "Rule of Thirds" suggests that placing your subject off-center create a more energetic and interesting composition. Digital cropping allows you to apply these artistic rules after the photo has been taken.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Crop box won't move? Try clicking the center of the grid, not the edges.
- Image too small? If you crop a small area, the result might be low resolution. Avoid cropping too tight on low-quality images.
- Aspect Ratio locked? If you can't change the shape freely, check if you have a preset like "16:9" selected. Switch to "Free/Custom" to unlock.
Why Crop Images?
Better Composition
Remove unwanted strangers, trash cans, or distractions from the edge of your shot to focus on the main subject.
Profile Pictures
Create the perfect square (1:1) avatar for LinkedIn, Instagram, or Slack from a group photo.
Printing Framing
Photos from phones (4:3) don't fit perfectly on 4x6 photo paper (3:2). Cropping prevents awkward white borders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will cropping lower my image quality? +
No. Cropping simply removes unwanted pixels from the edges. The pixels that remain in the center stay at the exact same quality as the original photo. However, the total resolution (width × height) will be smaller.
Can I undo a crop after downloading? +
No. Once you download the cropped JPG, the deleted parts are permanently removed from that file. We recommend always keeping your original file as a backup.
What is the "Rule of Thirds"? +
It is a famous photography rule where the image is divided by two horizontal and two vertical lines. Placing your main subject along these lines or their intersections creates a more balanced and professional-looking photo.
How do I crop for a round profile picture? +
JPGs are always rectangular. However, all social media sites (Instagram, LinkedIn) create the circle for you. You just need to crop your image to a perfect Square (1:1), and centered on your face.
What does "Aspect Ratio" mean? +
The Aspect Ratio is the proportional relationship between width and height. For example, 4:3 is standard TV/Camera shape, while 16:9 is Widescreen (HD/4K).
Is my photo private? +
Yes. The cropping happens locally in your web browser. We never see, touch, or store your images.
