Frequently Asked Questions

How do I crop to exact pixel dimensions?

Select "Freeform" aspect ratio and then enter your desired width and height in pixels. The crop area will lock to those exact dimensions. You can also resize images after cropping.

Can I crop without losing image quality?

The cropper preserves the original pixel data within your crop region. Quality loss only occurs if you enlarge a small crop area or use high compression when exporting. For best results, start with high-resolution source images.

What are the best dimensions for Instagram?

Instagram posts: 1080x1080 (1:1). Stories/Reels: 1080x1920 (9:16). Landscape posts: 1080x566 (1.91:1). Our presets are optimized for these platforms.

How do I center my crop on a specific subject?

Enable the grid overlay to help with composition. Drag the crop area to position your subject at a grid intersection (rule of thirds). You can also zoom in and pan for precise positioning.

Can I undo or adjust after cropping?

Yes, you can adjust the crop area as many times as needed before exporting. If you want to start over, simply reload the original image.

Composition Tips

Use the rule of thirds grid to create more dynamic crops. Position key subjects at grid intersections rather than dead center. For portraits, align eyes along the upper third line. For landscapes, place the horizon on the upper or lower third depending on whether you want to emphasize sky or ground.
