Frequently Asked Questions

What aspect ratios are available?

Free crop (any shape), 1:1 (square), 16:9 (widescreen), and 4:3 (traditional photo). Free crop lets you select any rectangular area without constraints.

Can I crop to exact pixel dimensions?

The crop tool shows pixel dimensions in real-time as you adjust. For precise sizing, crop first then use our Image Resize tool to set exact dimensions.

Does cropping reduce image quality?

No. Cropping extracts the selected area at full quality with no recompression. Output is lossless unless your input format uses lossy compression (like JPG).

What image formats can I crop?

All common formats: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF, BMP. Output format matches input format.

Can I crop multiple images at once?

Currently one at a time. For batch cropping with identical dimensions, crop one image to your desired size, note the dimensions, then use our Image Resize tool in batch mode.

How do I crop a circular or non-rectangular shape?

This tool creates rectangular crops only. For circular crops, use dedicated tools that support transparency masks.

Will cropping remove photo metadata (EXIF)?

Yes. Canvas processing strips all metadata including EXIF, GPS, and camera information. This protects your privacy.
