Frequently asked questions
- How does smart crop differ from regular cropping?
- Regular cropping requires you to manually select the region. Smart crop uses AI to detect the main subject (person, product, or object) and automatically centers the crop around it, maintaining proper composition.
- Can I use smart crop to create headshots from full-body photos?
- Yes. The face detection mode finds faces and crops to a configurable framing (close-up, head and shoulders, upper body, or half body). This is great for batch-generating profile pictures from group or full-body shots.
- What does trim mode do?
- Trim mode detects and removes uniform borders or whitespace around the edges of an image. It is useful for cleaning up scanned documents, screenshots, and images with padding.
