FAQ

Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser with JavaScript. Your image data is never sent to any server.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
Cropping keeps the original resolution, so there is no quality loss unless you upscale. PNG is lossless, while JPEG/WebP quality can be adjusted with the slider.
Can I paste a screenshot directly?
Yes. Press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac) to paste an image from your clipboard and edit it right away.
Can I crop with a fixed aspect ratio?
Yes. Choose a preset like 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, or a social size to keep that ratio while resizing. Select "Free" to adjust width and height independently.
Does it work on smartphones?
Yes. Touch is fully supported, so you can drag and resize the crop box on phones and tablets.
Which image formats are supported?
Loading supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and HEIC (iPhone photos). Export is available as PNG, JPEG, or WebP (up to 30MB).
