Frequently Asked Questions

JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF formats are supported. Cropped images are saved in the original file format.
Does cropping affect image quality?
For JPEG images, output is saved at high quality (92%), so there is virtually no visible quality loss. PNG, WebP, and GIF formats have no quality loss.
Can I crop with a fixed aspect ratio?
Yes, you can choose from presets including 1:1 (square), 4:3, 16:9, 3:2, and 2:3, or crop with a free aspect ratio.
