Frequently asked questions
Does cropping reduce quality?
No. Cropping keeps the original pixels of the area you keep. The image only has fewer pixels because the rest is cut away.
How do I crop to an exact pixel size?
Crop to the shape you want here, then use the image resizer to set the exact width and height.
Can I remove the background instead of cropping?
Yes. Our free background remover cuts out the subject and gives you a transparent PNG.
