Cropping Tips
Good cropping can dramatically improve a photo. Use the rule of thirds — place your subject at one-third from the edge rather than dead center. This creates a more dynamic, professional composition.
When cropping for social media, remember that platforms may add their own cropping in feeds. Leave some breathing room around your subject so important details aren't cut off in different display contexts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does cropping reduce image quality?
Cropping itself doesn't reduce quality — it simply removes pixels outside the selection. The cropped area retains its original resolution. However, if you crop a very small area and then enlarge it, you'll lose sharpness.
Can I crop to a custom size?
Yes! Select "Free" mode to draw any crop area you want without aspect ratio constraints. You can also manually enter exact pixel dimensions.
Are my images uploaded?
No. All cropping happens in your browser. Your images stay on your device — nothing is sent to any server.
