What does "aspect ratio" mean when cropping?

Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between width and height. 16:9 is widescreen video format, 1:1 is a square (used for Instagram profile photos), and 4:3 is a classic photo format. Locking to an aspect ratio ensures your crop fits these containers perfectly.

Can I crop to exact pixel dimensions?

Yes. Use the coordinate fields below the preview to enter exact X, Y, Width, and Height values in pixels. The visual crop rectangle updates in real time.

Will cropping reduce file size?

Yes — cropping removes pixels outside the selection, so the resulting file is smaller. Combining crop with JPEG or WebP compression further reduces the file size.

Does the cropper upload my images?

No. Cropping is performed entirely in your browser with the Canvas API. Nothing is sent to a server.
