Frequently Asked Questions

Does cropping reduce the resolution of the image?

Cropping extracts the exact pixels from the selected region without downscaling. The output has the native resolution of the cropped area.

Can I rotate sideways photos before cropping?

Yes, click the Rotate 90° button to turn your picture before setting your crop frame.

Is my original photo file modified on my computer?

No. Cropping produces a new cropped copy to download; your original file on your device remains untouched.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. The cropping process executes locally inside your web browser.
