Question 1

How do I crop an image to a specific aspect ratio?

Accepted Answer

Upload your image, then select a preset aspect ratio (such as 1:1 for square, 16:9 for widescreen, 4:3 for classic, 9:16 for portrait) or set a custom ratio. The crop selection will lock to that ratio as you resize. Drag the crop box to reposition it, then click Crop to apply.

Question 2

Will cropping reduce image quality?

Accepted Answer

Cropping itself does not degrade quality — it simply removes pixels outside the selected area. The remaining pixels retain their original quality. However, if you crop to a very small area and then display it at a larger size, the result will appear pixelated because you're stretching fewer pixels over a larger display area.

Question 3

How do I crop an image to an exact pixel dimension (e.g., 400×300)?

Accepted Answer

Set the aspect ratio to match your target (400:300 = 4:3 ratio), then crop, and afterwards use an image resizer tool to scale the cropped result to exactly 400×300 pixels. Some tools allow entering exact pixel dimensions in the crop dialog directly — look for a pixel dimension input option in the crop settings.

Question 4

Can I crop multiple images at once?

Accepted Answer

This tool processes one image at a time. For batch cropping at the same coordinates or ratio, use command-line tools: ImageMagick's `-crop` option, Python Pillow's `Image.crop((x1, y1, x2, y2))`, or Sharp's `.extract()` method. These are ideal for processing many product images or thumbnails consistently.

Question 5

What happens to the original image after I crop?

Accepted Answer

Your original image is never modified. The tool reads your file in the browser and produces a new cropped file for download. If you want to keep the original, simply don't overwrite it with the cropped version. All processing is done locally in your browser — no files are uploaded to any server.
