Smart Crop: AI Object-Aware Image Cropper
Smart crop images automatically with AI object-aware and subject-aware cropping. The smart cropper detects the most important region, whether a face, product, or object, and crops around it so key content stays centered and well composed. Trim mode removes uniform borders, and batch mode applies consistent smart cropping across a whole set.
Features

Frequently asked questions
- What is smart cropping?
- Smart cropping uses AI to find the most important region of an image, whether a face, person, product, or object, and crops around it automatically, instead of cutting from the center. It keeps the subject in frame and properly composed.
- How is a smart cropper different from regular cropping?
- Regular cropping makes you manually pick the region. A smart cropper detects the subject with object-aware and face-aware AI and centers the crop on it, which is ideal for batch-processing many images to a consistent framing.
- Can I use smart crop to create headshots from full-body photos?
- Yes. Face-detection mode finds faces and crops to a configurable framing (close-up, head and shoulders, upper body, or half body), great for batch-generating profile pictures from group or full-body shots.
- Does trim mode remove borders and whitespace?
- Yes. Trim mode detects and removes uniform borders or whitespace around the edges of an image, useful for cleaning up scanned documents, screenshots, and padded images.
