Technical Limitations & Device Performance

Boundary Constraints
Crop boundaries cannot exceed the native pixel dimensions of the source photo.
Format Preservation
Exports as clean PNG or JPEG depending on your original file's transparency settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I crop rather than resize?
Resizing changes the dimensions of the entire image, which can distort aspect ratios if width and height are adjusted independently. Cropping cuts away unwanted borders or backgrounds while keeping the remaining pixels at 100% natural proportion.
Is 1:1 the best ratio for Instagram posts?
Yes, 1080×1080px (1:1 ratio) is the classic square format for Instagram feeds. Use 9:16 for full-screen mobile stories or reels.
