# Image Cropper

> Crop images visually with drag handles, aspect-ratio presets and a live preview.

To crop an image, drop it into the editor and drag the selection box over the area you want. Handles on every corner and edge resize the selection, rule-of-thirds guides help with composition, and aspect-ratio presets lock the shape for square, widescreen or social formats.

## FAQ

### Does cropping reduce image quality?

No. Cropping selects a region of the original pixels at full resolution — nothing is scaled. Choosing PNG keeps it entirely lossless; JPG and WebP re-encode the cropped region.

### What is the 1.91:1 preset for?

It is the aspect ratio Facebook, LinkedIn and X expect for link preview images. A 1200 - 630 image matches it exactly.
