Frequently Asked Questions
Does cropping reduce image dimensions?
Yes. Pixels outside the frame are removed, so the download uses the selected width and height.
Can I lock an aspect ratio?
No. This cropper is freeform. Use the Image Resizer when you need a preset ratio such as 1:1 or 16:9.
Can I position a crop without a mouse?
Yes. Focus the visible crop frame and use arrow keys; Shift plus an arrow moves it farther. You can also type Position X and Position Y.
Will cropping make the file smaller?
Often, because fewer pixels are stored, but format, quality, transparency, and image detail also affect file size.
Can the cropper remove a background?
No. It removes rectangular outer areas only; it does not isolate a person or object from its background.
