Help & clarification

Frequently Asked Questions

Does cropping reduce image quality?

No. Cropping keeps the original pixels untouched — only the area outside the frame is removed. Choose PNG for completely lossless output.

Which ratio should I use for social media?

1:1 for square posts, 4:5 for Instagram portrait posts, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails and 9:16 for stories and reels.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Every operation runs locally in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas engine. Your files never leave your device, so they stay completely private.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes — it's completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks added to your output and no daily limits.
