About cropping images

Cropping means keeping part of an image and discarding the rest. It straightens a bad frame, removes what shouldn't be in the shot, or fits a picture to the ratio a platform asks for: a square for an avatar, 16:9 for a cover.

Cropping here doesn't touch the pixels it keeps: nothing is rescaled or recompressed just because you cropped. If you also ask for a different output size, that resize does rewrite the image, which is why it runs after the crop rather than before it.

The order is fixed and it matters: crop first, then resize, then rotate. That way the coordinates you pick always refer to the original image, never to an already-transformed version.

Common questions

Does cropping lose quality?
The crop itself doesn't. If the source is JPG, lossy WEBP or AVIF, saving it again means a small recompression; PNG never loses anything.
Can I crop a HEIC from my iPhone?
Yes. HEIC, AVIF, JXL, SVG and ICO are decoded on the server and the result comes back as PNG, which loses nothing on the way. PNG, JPG and WEBP keep their original format.
How do I crop to an exact ratio?
Draw the selection roughly, then type the exact width and height into the fields. The numbers win over what you dragged.
What if my image is an SVG?
An SVG has no resolution of its own. If you ask for an output size, it's drawn at that size directly instead of blowing up a small bitmap afterwards, which would look blurry.
