Frequently asked questions
Will cropping reduce image quality?
No. Cropping keeps the original pixels of the selected area. Choose PNG for a lossless result, or JPG/WebP at high quality for a smaller file.
What aspect ratio should I use for Instagram?
Use 1:1 for square posts and 4:5 for portrait posts, which take up the most space in the feed. Use 9:16 for Stories and Reels.
Can I crop on my phone?
Yes. The crop box works with touch — drag it with one finger and pull the corner handles to resize.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device.
