Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. ToolSmith processes every image locally in your browser. Your files are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool keeps working.
Does cropping reduce quality?
No. Cropping only removes the parts outside the box; the remaining pixels are kept at full resolution.
Can I crop to an exact pixel size?
Yes. Type the width and height you need in the boxes, then drag the crop area into position.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android — there is no app to install.
