Frequently asked questions
- How do I crop an image to a square online?
- Upload your photo, select the Post Square or Profile Photo preset (1080×1080), drag to frame your subject, and download PNG.
- Can I crop for Instagram Stories?
- Yes. Choose the Reels & Stories preset (1080×1920, 9:16) and position your image inside the vertical frame.
- Is cropping the same as resizing?
- Cropping cuts the frame to a new aspect ratio by selecting which part of the image stays visible. Resizing focuses on scaling to exact pixel dimensions. This tool is optimized for reframing and cutting.
- Will cropping cut off important parts of my photo?
- You control the crop by dragging and scaling inside the preview. Always check the frame before downloading.
- Are my photos uploaded to your servers?
- No. Cropping happens locally in your browser for privacy and speed.
