Privacy and File Processing

Browser-local processing

Crop Image keeps its JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WEBP and browser-decodable images input in browser memory while the operation runs. The workflow creates Cropped image for local preview or download and does not send the entered values or selected file bytes to the GXA Toolbox application server.

Supported Inputs and Outputs

Input

  • JPG
  • JPEG
  • PNG
  • WEBP and browser-decodable images

Output

  • Cropped image

Quality and Fidelity

Cropping removes pixels outside the selected rectangle. Export quality depends on the source format and encoder; cropping alone does not add detail or increase resolution.

Limitations and Important Notes

  • Pixels outside the exported crop are not present in the new image.
  • Very small selections have limited printable resolution.
  • Animated images are treated as a still browser image.

Worked Example

Use a representative source image, apply Crop Image, and compare the result with the original at full size before publishing it.

Helpful Tips

  • Keep the untouched source image while evaluating Crop Image.
  • Check the Cropped image result at its intended display size.
