✂️ Crop ratio guide by use case
- 1:1 (square) — Great for Instagram posts, profile pictures, and messaging app profiles.
- 3:4 — A common portrait ratio for ID and headshot photos.
- 4:3 — The standard landscape ratio for most digital cameras. Good for documents and prints.
- 16:9 — YouTube thumbnails, blog banners, and other wide landscape images.
- 9:16 — Instagram Stories/Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other vertical video covers.
🔍 How is cropping different from resizing?
Cropping keeps only part of a photo and discards the rest — use it to change composition or hit a specific ratio. Resizing keeps the whole photo and just scales its pixel dimensions up or down. If you need "a fixed pixel size like an ID photo," use Resize; if you need "to trim away unwanted background and fix the composition," use Crop.
💬 Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I crop to a fixed ratio?
- Yes. Lock the selection to 1:1, 3:4 (ID photo), 4:3, 16:9, or 9:16 — or crop freely with no fixed ratio.
- Does the original quality stay intact?
- Yes — the selected area is cropped at full original resolution with no quality loss. Choose JPG, PNG, or WebP as the output.
- Are files uploaded to a server?
- No. Cropping runs entirely in your browser — images are never sent outside your device.
