Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will cropping an image reduce its file size?
Yes, because you are removing pixels from the image, the resulting file will have a smaller physical resolution and a smaller file size.
Can I crop an image into a perfect circle?
Currently, our tool crops in standard rectangular or square bounds. To get a circle, crop it to a 1:1 square, and then use CSS `border-radius: 50%` on your website.
Is it safe to crop sensitive documents?
Absolutely. The cropping logic runs purely in your web browser. No image data is transmitted over the internet.
What is an aspect ratio?
Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between the width and the height of an image (e.g., 16:9 for widescreen TVs, 1:1 for a perfect square).
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No. Cropping only removes the outer edges; it does not compress or alter the pixels inside the remaining cropped area.
