FAQ
Can I crop an image online for free?
Yes. Use a browser tool that loads the file locally. Alvseike Smart Cropper runs in your tab so the image does not need to be uploaded to crop it.
Will cropping reduce resolution?
Cropping removes pixels outside the box. Export at the cropped pixel size; you cannot invent detail that was never in the selection.
What if I need a video frame first?
Extract a still from the clip first, then crop the image. See the howtoany guide on extracting frames from video.
