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.

Is 4:3 still relevant in 2026?

Yes - iPad in landscape is 4:3, many DSLRs default to 4:3 in 'Photo' mode, and the ratio's nostalgic feel makes it popular for retro-style social content.

What pixel sizes match 4:3?

Common 4:3 sizes are 640×480, 800×600, 1024×768, 1600×1200, 2048×1536, and 4032×3024 (modern iPhone / iPad camera default).

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.

Does this resize the image too?

No - this tool only crops. The output keeps the pixel resolution of the cropped region. To resize after cropping, use our resize tool or open the result in the AI editor.
