Frequently asked questions
Is PixelTools image cropper free?
+
Yes, completely free with no limits. Crop as many images as you want, as often as you want. No subscription, no trial, no account required.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
+
No. PixelTools crops at the original resolution using the Canvas API. When you download as PNG, the cropped region is pixel-perfect with zero quality loss. JPG export uses 92% quality for minimal file size impact.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
+
No. PixelTools crops images entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device — there is no server upload, no cloud processing, and no data stored anywhere.
What image formats can I crop?
+
PixelTools supports JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and HEIC/HEIF for cropping. The cropped result can be downloaded as PNG (lossless) or JPG.
Can I crop an image into a circle?
+
Yes. Enable the Circle crop toggle to create a circular crop, perfect for profile photos and avatars. Circle crops are saved as PNG with a transparent background.
What aspect ratio presets are available?
+
PixelTools offers Free (no constraint), 1:1 (square), 16:9 (widescreen), 9:16 (portrait/stories), 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, and 2:3. You can also enable Circle crop which locks to 1:1.
Can I crop to exact pixel dimensions?
+
The crop tool shows live pixel dimensions as you adjust the crop area. While there is no pixel-exact input field, you can see the exact resulting dimensions and fine-tune the selection to match your needs.
What happens to the transparent area in circle crop?
+
When downloading as PNG, the area outside the circle is transparent. When downloading as JPG, the transparent area is filled with white since JPG does not support transparency.
