Cropping is composition, not compression

A crop discards everything outside your selection and leaves the kept pixels untouched — nothing is recompressed, nothing softens. What you spend is pixel count: crop a small image hard and little detail remains, which is why cropping works best on originals, not thumbnails.

Fact	Detail
Kept pixels	Bit-identical
Fixed ratios	1:1, 16:9 and more
Undo after saving	No — removed area is gone
Format	Unchanged (PNG stays PNG)
Transparency	Preserved where format supports it

Typical jobs people use this for

Cutting a square profile picture from a group photo
Removing a messy desk edge from a product shot
Making a 16:9 thumbnail from a vertical phone photo

When this is the wrong tool

Keep the original before cropping tight — 'gone' means gone, and re-framing later needs those pixels back. If the subject is tiny in a small image, cropping in will only reveal how few pixels it occupies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does cropping reduce image quality?

Cropping itself only discards the area outside your selection — the pixels you keep are unchanged. What does drop is the total pixel count, so cropping very tightly into a small image leaves you with little detail to work with.

Can I crop to an exact aspect ratio?

Yes. Fixed ratios such as 1:1 for profile pictures or 16:9 for video thumbnails are available, which is more precise than eyeballing the edges by hand.

Can I undo a crop after saving?

Not from the cropped file — the removed area is genuinely gone. Keep your original if there is any chance you will want to reframe later; cropping from the original again is always better than trying to recover.

Does the output keep the original format?

Yes. A JPG stays a JPG and a PNG stays a PNG, so transparency is preserved where the format supports it.

Is the photo uploaded to crop it?

No. Cropping happens in the browser, so personal photos stay on your own device.
