💡 Pro Tips
Use 1:1 ratio for profile pictures
Lock to a square aspect ratio before cropping - most social profile photos require a 1:1 crop.
16:9 is the standard for banners and thumbnails
YouTube thumbnails, blog headers, and social media banners all use 16:9 - use the preset to get pixel-perfect framing.
Crop before compressing
Removing unwanted pixels before compression means the compressor spends all its budget on the part of the image you actually want.
Type exact pixels for precision cuts
Drag selection is great for quick crops; use the numeric inputs when you need a precise pixel-perfect result.
