Limitations and important notes
Limitations and important notes
- Cropping permanently removes pixels outside the selected framing box in the exported file.
- Cropping very small areas out of low-resolution photos produces small output files that should not be enlarged.
- Animated GIF files are cropped as single static canvas frames.
- Keep your original uncropped photos as backups before replacing production assets.
