●Just the FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.

What are the two main reasons to crop an image?

The two main reasons to crop an image are 1) to fit it to a specific dimension for social media and 2) to emphasize or redact important subject matter in the image. Our data shows that the number one reason people crop images is so that they can fit or resize the image to a specific social media platform, like Instagram or Twitter. For these shared images, cropping to a specific size is especially important, as it provides the correct amount of emphasis for the image. A secondary reason users crop images is to adjust the image to hide or emphasize something important. For example, an editor might crop an image to showcase someone's face, or crop out a part of an image to hide something more sensitive.

How is cropping done?

Cropping an image is usually done by removing certain preselected pixels from an image. Creators can achieve this cropping effect by selecting areas of their image that they want to crop, and then using an image cropping tool to crop, or cut out, these sections of the image. This process is important to remove nonessential parts of an image, or fit the image more effectively to a certain social media platform. One such popular online image cropping tool that creators can take advantage of to complete this process is Kapwing.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.

As a housewife at home looking to start a YouTube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.

As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features

[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!

Natasha Ball

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.

[Subtitler] is able to autogenerate subtitles for video in almost any language. I'm deaf (or almost deaf, to be correct) and thanks to Kapwing I'm now able understand and react on videos from my friends :)
