Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between resizing and cropping?

Resizing changes the dimensions of the whole image while keeping proportions. Cropping keeps only part of it and removes the rest. If your subject is already well placed, start with Resize an image. If you need to remove edges or isolate an area, use Crop an image or a specialized crop.

How do I get a round avatar?

Use Circular crop. It creates a round avatar on a transparent background. For a standard square, choose Center square crop. Then check the format and size required by the platform before publishing.

Can I combine cropping and rotation in the same preparation?

Yes. Correct the orientation first with Correct image orientation, then crop with Crop an image or Center square crop. Finish with Rotate and flip if a detail must change side. Check the final frame before exporting.

Which tool gives a light thumbnail without losing the subject?

Use Thumbnail Generator to set the width, then check that the subject stays readable. If needed, start again with Subject-aware crop before regenerating the thumbnail. Compare weight and sharpness before publishing.
