WHY CROP IMAGES?

Cropping removes distractions and focuses attention on what matters most — the subject. Cleaner composition improves click‑through rates, readability, and overall visual quality.

For the web, tighter crops mean fewer pixels to transfer, which boosts Core Web Vitals and SEO. Use popular aspect ratios (1:1, 4:5, 16:9) to fit social feeds, thumbnails, and hero areas perfectly.

Align subjects to rule‑of‑thirds intersections for stronger images.

Remove dead space around products to improve conversion and trust.

Deliver leaner, faster pages by shipping only the pixels you actually need.

MAKE YOUR IMAGES LOOK THEIR BEST — ANYWHERE

BETTER COMPOSITION

Remove distractions and focus attention on the subject with clean, balanced framing.

LIGHTER & FASTER

Fewer pixels means smaller files — faster loads, better Core Web Vitals, and improved SEO.

PERFECT FIT

Use aspect presets (1:1, 4:5, 16:9) so images look great across feeds, thumbnails, and hero banners.

Tweak dimensions later with the Image Resizer for pixel‑perfect results.

PRO TIPS FOR CROPPING

Use aspect presets for perfect social sizes: 1:1 (Instagram), 4:5 (feed), 16:9 (YouTube, cover).
Keep the subject on the rule-of-thirds intersections for stronger composition.
Need transparency? Choose PNG or WebP. JPG does not support alpha and will flatten against a background color.
Keep Output on "Original" to avoid unnecessary re-encoding. For smaller files, try WebP with moderate quality.
