Frequently Asked Questions
How to crop an image to 16:9?
Upload your image, select the 16:9 aspect ratio, and position the crop area. The widescreen result follows the crop box and is ready to download.
What is 16:9 used for?
16:9 is the standard widescreen ratio used for YouTube thumbnails (1280×720), HD video, presentations, and most modern displays.
Will the image quality change after cropping?
The selected area keeps its pixel dimensions, then the browser re-encodes it. PNG is lossless for the cropped pixels; JPG and WebP may change quality according to the selected setting.
