Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cropper on my smartphone or tablet?
Yes! The cropper is designed with touch event listeners and touch-target padding, allowing smooth mobile pinch and drag operations on iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.
Does cropping reduce image resolution outside the crop area?
Cropping removes pixels outside your selected frame, keeping only the chosen area at full original pixel density without artificial downscaling.
