Tips & Best Practices

• Zoom in for precision: Use the zoom controls to magnify the image and position your crop box with pixel-level accuracy.
• Use presets for consistency: When creating content for a specific platform, pick the matching aspect-ratio preset to avoid trial and error.
• Rotate before cropping: Straighten tilted photos first so the crop area aligns naturally with the image content.
• Export as PNG for transparency: If you need a transparent background in the cropped result, choose PNG output format.
• Preview before downloading: Always check the cropped preview panel to confirm the selection looks correct before saving.
• Use the corner handles: Drag from the corners of the crop box rather than the edges for more natural and controlled resizing.
