Common errors & troubleshooting
Important subject was cut off
Cause: Cover crop keeps the target ratio by trimming edges.

Output looks soft after crop
Cause: Output size larger than the cropped pixel window upscales.
Fix: Lower output width/height to at most the crop window size.

- Animated GIF/WebP become still frames when cropped.
- Very large images may be limited by browser memory.
Frequently asked questions
Is smart crop AI face detection?
No. It maximizes local contrast and edge energy inside the ratio window. Faces help only if they add detail/contrast.
What if smart crop misses my subject?
Use Crop Image to Aspect Ratio with manual pan, or Center Crop Image Online.
Are images uploaded for AI?
No. Sampling happens on a local canvas only.
Does smart crop work on plain backgrounds?
Low-detail images score flatly; results may resemble center crop.
