Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I crop a photo to a square (1:1)?
- Set width and height to the same value (e.g. 1080×1080) and adjust the X/Y offset to position the square over the area you want to keep. Output downloads as a PNG by default.
- What's the best crop ratio for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube?
- Instagram feed: 1:1 (1080×1080) or 4:5 (1080×1350). Stories/Reels/TikTok: 9:16 (1080×1920). YouTube thumbnails: 16:9 (1280×720). Twitter/X: 16:9 (1200×675). Pick dimensions that match the platform's expected upload size.
- Will cropping reduce my photo's quality?
- No. Cropping just discards the outer pixels — the kept area keeps every original pixel. Export as PNG for fully lossless cropping; JPG re-encodes but at high quality the loss is invisible.
- Can I crop a video instead?
- Yes — use the video cropper for MP4, MOV, MKV, or WebM files. Same crop controls, same browser-only privacy.
- Is this image cropper free? Does it watermark?
- Free, no watermark, no sign-up, no upload. Image is cropped entirely in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly.
- Can I crop the same image to multiple sizes (e.g. for Instagram and stories)?
- Yes — after downloading the first crop, click 'New file' to start over with the original. Re-crop to the second aspect ratio. The original isn't altered.
