Frequently Asked Questions

Are my photos uploaded to your server?

No. The Social Cropper uses 100% local browser-side processing. Your images never leave your device, ensuring total privacy for sensitive content.

Can I enlarge a small photo without it looking blurry?

While enlarging cannot “create” detail, our tool uses high-quality smoothing algorithms during export. By setting a specific Target Width, you can upscale images with significantly cleaner edges than standard editors.

Does this tool work for Instagram Reels and Stories?

Yes. Use the 9:16 preset to ensure your images fit perfectly within the full-screen vertical format of Stories, Reels, and TikTok.

What is the “Target Width” setting for?

This allows you to force the final image to a specific pixel size (e.g., 1080px for IG). It is essential for maintaining consistency across your social media feeds.

Does The Social Cropper remove hidden GPS metadata?

Yes. Because the tool redraws the image onto a fresh canvas for the crop, it effectively strips hidden EXIF data, including location and camera settings, from the final download.

Is there a file size limit for high-res images?

Since the tool uses your own device’s hardware, it can handle very large images. Performance will depend on your computer or phone’s memory (RAM).
