Frequently Asked Questions

How do I crop an image to a specific size?

Upload your image, then add w_WIDTH,h_HEIGHT,c_fill to the URL. For example, w_800,h_600,c_fill crops to exactly 800x600 pixels.

What's the difference between c_fill and c_fit?

c_fill crops to exact dimensions, cutting off parts that don't fit. c_fit resizes to fit within the dimensions without cropping, maintaining the original aspect ratio.

How do I control which part of the image is kept?

Use the gravity parameter: g_north (top), g_south (bottom), g_east (right), g_west (left), or g_center (default). This determines which part of the image is kept when cropping.

Can I crop to a square?

Yes! Use equal width and height values: w_500,h_500,c_fill creates a perfect square crop. Great for profile pictures and Instagram posts.
