Frequently Asked Questions

What aspect ratios are available for cropping?

We offer common aspect ratios like 1:1 (square), 4:3, 16:9, 3:2, and custom ratios. You can also crop freely without any ratio constraints using React Easy Crop's flexible interface.

Can I crop multiple images with the same settings?

Yes, you can apply the same crop settings to multiple images in batch mode, ensuring consistent dimensions across all your images with Canvas API processing.

Will cropping affect image quality?

Cropping only removes pixels and doesn't compress the remaining image, so there's no quality loss in the cropped area. Quality settings only apply when converting formats.

What image formats are supported for cropping?

We support JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and BMP formats. The output can maintain the same format as your input image or convert to JPEG, PNG, or WebP with quality control.

Is my data secure during cropping?

Absolutely! All image cropping happens entirely in your browser using Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Can I undo crop operations?

You can reset the crop area before applying changes using the zoom and position controls. Once applied, you'll need to re-upload the original image to start over.
