Crop Image — Frequently asked questions
Is Crop Image free for journalists?
Yes. Sensitive documents are processed then deleted — no cloud copy to subpoena. There is no signup, no trial and no watermark on your files.
What kind of files can journalists use Crop Image for?
Crop Image works with the documents journalists handle every day — interview transcripts, leaked documents, press kits, public records, research dossiers and story drafts. A common case: Redacting a source's identity from a document before it is published or shared.
Can I crop to a specific size?
Yes. Set a precise ratio or pixel dimensions for the crop.
Is the original changed?
No. You download a new cropped copy; the original stays as it is.
How do I crop an image for a profile or cover photo?
Pick the right ratio (such as square for a profile) or set pixel dimensions, then drag the crop box into place.
Can I crop to a specific ratio like 1:1 or 16:9?
Yes. Choose a preset ratio or enter your own so the crop stays precise and consistent.
Does image quality drop after cropping?
No. Cropping only removes the edges without re-compressing the remaining part.
Do I need design software to crop an image?
No. Cropping runs in your browser for free, without Photoshop or any program.
