Questions
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Every image is opened and processed inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, and closing the tab discards everything.
Does cropping reduce quality?
No. The kept area is copied pixel for pixel; only re-saving as JPG applies normal JPG compression.
Which image formats can I use?
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF (first frame), BMP, TIFF, SVG and iPhone HEIC/HEIF photos. Photoshop PSD files work when they were saved with a flattened preview ("Maximize compatibility").
