Frequently Asked Questions
What is an aspect ratio?
An aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between an image's width and height. For example, a 1:1 aspect ratio is a perfect square, while a 16:9 ratio is standard for widescreen displays.
Can I crop an image for a specific social media platform?
Yes. For a square Instagram post, use the 1:1 aspect ratio. For a Facebook cover photo, you might use a custom crop. Our tool gives you the flexibility to crop for any platform.
Will cropping the image reduce its resolution?
Cropping removes parts of the image, so the final image will have a lower resolution (fewer pixels) than the original. However, the quality of the cropped area remains the same.
