→Frequently asked questions
- How do I crop a photo into a square?
- Select your file, slide the position control to frame your subject in the 1:1 window, then export.
- What does the position slider do?
- It slides the square window along the image's longer side so you can choose which part of the photo to keep.
- Does square cropping lose quality?
- The kept region stays at full resolution — pixels are cut away, never stretched — so sharpness is preserved.
- What file formats can I export?
- You can export as PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, or HEIC.
- Is this tool free to use?
- Yes — completely free, no account needed. Your images are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to a server. Downloads have no watermarks.
