Frequently Asked Questions
Does cropping reduce quality?
The crop itself does not reduce quality — you are simply selecting a region of the original image. However, saving the result as JPEG re-compresses the image, which can introduce a small amount of additional compression artefacts. Set the quality slider to 90–100% to minimise this.
Can I enter exact crop coordinates?
The current tool uses drag-to-crop. The selection coordinates (in pixels) are shown below the canvas as you drag, so you can adjust the handles to hit a specific region. Exact numeric input may be added in a future update.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image is never sent anywhere.
