FAQ
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The crop happens in your browser with canvas and downloads directly, so the file never leaves your device.
What does locking a ratio do?
While you drag, the height follows the width to keep the ratio. Choose 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, the 3.5:4.5 ID-photo ratio, or Free for no constraint.
Does cropping reduce quality?
The cropped area keeps the original pixels, so there is no loss from cropping itself. Saving as JPG or WebP applies compression — choose PNG for a lossless result.
Can I crop to exact pixel dimensions?
Type the values into the X, Y, Width and Height fields below the preview. The output size updates live.
Crop vs resize — what is the difference?
Cropping keeps part of the photo and discards the rest; resizing keeps the whole image but changes its pixel dimensions.
