Does this upload my photo to a server?

No. The crop runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image data never leaves your device, so the tool works offline once the page is loaded and there's no privacy risk.

What's Pinterest's recommended Pin size?

1000×1500 (2:3) is the recommended size for standard Pins. Pinterest may also surface 600×900 (same ratio, smaller file) and 2000×3000 (high-DPI). Aspect matters more than absolute pixel count.

Why is 2:3 the 'best' for Pinterest distribution?

Pinterest's feed is a vertical waterfall and taller Pins take up more screen, increasing the chance of a tap. Pinterest officially caps at 2:3 - taller Pins get cropped in the home feed - so 2:3 is the sweet spot.

What about Story Pins (Idea Pins)?

Idea Pins use 9:16, the full-screen mobile aspect. We include it in the dropdown so you don't need to switch tools - just pick 9:16 and the crop locks to that.

Will I lose quality after cropping?

No. Cropping is a pure pixel-removal operation - the kept pixels stay byte-identical. JPG re-encoding can introduce minor compression, so we encode at high quality (≥0.92) by default.
