Miptz Image Cropper

Crop, rotate and frame photos directly in the browser, no installs needed.

Image Size Limit 5 MB

A note from the Miptz studio

The Miptz cropper does five things and refuses to do anything else: select, rotate, mirror, reset and export. There is no levels adjustment, no clarity slider, no AI-driven content fill. Tools that pretend to crop and retouch in the same surface tend to do both jobs poorly; we keep the workspace clean so the framing decision gets your full attention.

Numerical width / height fields lock the export to a precise pixel size after the visual frame is chosen, which matters for editorial spec sheets where the page layout demands an exact resolution. Rotate and mirror are applied before the crop is exported, in that order; the underlying canvas writes a fresh bitmap rather than reusing the source.

Why retouchers reach for Miptz crop

Five tools, no more

Select, rotate, mirror, reset, export. Tools that pretend to crop and retouch tend to do both jobs poorly.

Browser-local framing

The atelier server never sees the photograph during the crop step.

Order-of-operations strict

Rotate, mirror and crop apply in the order you triggered them; the export writes a fresh bitmap.

PNG export by default

Transparency is preserved; convert to JPG or WebP afterwards if the destination is the web.

Common Miptz workflow questions

  1. 01

    Does the crop tool upload my image?

    No. The cropper is a fully in-browser tool. The image is loaded into a HTML5 canvas, the crop is applied locally, and the resulting file is exported back to your device. Nothing leaves your machine.

  2. 02

    Can I crop multiple images at once?

    The cropper currently works on one image at a time so you can fine-tune the framing for each photo. For batch operations consider using the resizer with Crop mode instead.

  3. 03

    How do I crop to a specific aspect ratio?

    Drag the selection rectangle while holding the “Shift” key on most browsers to preserve a free aspect ratio. The cropper also exposes preset shape suggestions in the toolbar so you can match common aspect ratios such as 1:1, 4:3 or 16:9.

  4. 04

    Will the cropper change the colour profile?

    The cropper writes the output using the same colour space the browser supplies. Most browsers normalise photos to sRGB during decoding, so professional wide-gamut workflows should be cropped on the desktop instead.

  5. 05

    Can I rotate or flip the image?

    Yes. The cropper toolbar includes ninety-degree rotation in either direction and horizontal / vertical mirroring. All transformations apply before the crop is exported.

  6. 06

    What output format does the cropper produce?

    The cropped image is exported in PNG by default, which preserves transparency and full pixel quality. Send it through the Miptz converter afterwards if you want JPG or WebP.

  7. 07

    Why does the cropper not load my image?

    A few possibilities: the file is larger than the configured limit, the format is not a real image, or your browser is blocking access to the file. Refresh the page and try again with a fresh upload.

  8. 08

    Does the cropper work on mobile?

    Yes. Touch interactions are supported, so you can pinch and drag the selection rectangle directly on phones and tablets.

  9. 09

    Is Miptz liable if my crop removes a legally important detail?

    You are responsible for the pixels you choose to discard. Miptz Pixel Converter provides the framing surface only; editorial and legal review of the final crop remains with you or your organisation.

  10. 10

    Can I crop screenshots with sensitive data using Miptz?

    Because cropping is local-only, redacted screenshots never touch our servers during the crop step. Still verify your OS clipboard and browser extensions if the image passed through another service beforehand.

  11. 11

    Does Miptz log canvas operations for analytics?

    No. The cropper does not phone home with coordinates or thumbnails. Standard web analytics may record that you visited the page, but not the image pixels themselves.
