FAQ
Answers to common questions about Cut My Pic, the browser-based editor, and how the local workflow works.
General
Does Cut My Pic upload my images?
No. Editing runs locally in your browser, so your images stay on your device.
What formats can I upload?
You can upload common image formats such as PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF.
What format does export use?
Export creates a PNG file so transparent areas, borders, and shadows are preserved cleanly.
Why does shadow make the image area look different?
Shadow expands the canvas so the shadow itself is not clipped. The photo stays the same visual scale after the shadow is applied.
What do sharpen and soften do?
Sharpen makes edges look crisper and more defined, while soften does the opposite by gently blurring the image. Both preview live so you can fine-tune the amount before applying.
Can I add multiple borders?
Yes. Each time you apply a border, it becomes part of the image so later crop or corner edits can reapply the full border stack.
Can I use text and stamps together?
Yes. Text mode lets you add custom text, while Stamp mode gives you preset graphics and labels. You can switch between them from the same text panel.
What is the best workflow?
A simple order works best: crop first, then rounded corners or border, then filters and adjustments, then text or stamps, and export at the end.
Can I undo more than one step?
Yes. Open the history window to jump back to an earlier edit point, including the original image if needed.
How do Undo and Edit History work together?
Undo moves back one applied edit at a time. Edit History shows the complete sequence, with #0 as the original image and each later number representing one applied edit. Select a state to jump directly to it; any later states remain available as redo states until you apply a different edit.
What does the history step counter show?
The history step counter shows how many edits have been applied after the original image. Temporary previews do not become history states until you press Apply. The Reusable Step Counter at the bottom may be lower because it counts only the steps that can be saved in a workflow.
What is a reusable workflow?
A reusable workflow is a saved sequence of supported editing instructions from your applied history. Use Save Workflow in the Edit History footer, give it a name, and use Load Workflow to apply it to another image. Saved workflows stay in this browser and can be deleted from the workflow library.
How do workflows handle crop and resize steps?
When a workflow contains a crop, you position the crop on the new image instead of reusing old coordinates. If the workflow also has a resize target, the crop selector locks to that aspect ratio and the final workflow step resizes the result to the saved pixel dimensions. The editor warns before enlarging a crop that is smaller than the target because upscaling can reduce quality.
How does fullscreen editing help?
Fullscreen mode gives you more room to work, and the tool rail stays available so you can keep editing while seeing more of the image.
What’s the difference between crop, cut, and mask?
Crop removes part of the image, cut modes define the shape you want to keep, and mask modes let you blur or color the selected area instead of trimming it away.
Does Cut My Pic work offline?
Yes, the editor runs in your browser, so it can keep working even when you are not connected, as long as the page is already loaded.
Why do some tools have Apply buttons?
Apply buttons lock in an edit so you can see it become part of the history and continue building on that result with other tools.
Social Networks
Best Cut My Pic modes: 4:5 Cut for feed posts, 1:1 Cut for square posts, and 9:16 Cut for Stories and Reels. Keep text large, centered, and away from the edges. Crop first, then use Rounded Corners or Border only if the design needs them. For profile-style graphics, Circle Cut works well. If you want a white or colored frame around the image, apply the border after you finish cropping.
Best Cut My Pic modes: 1:1 Cut or 4:5 Cut for feed posts, 1.91:1 Cut for link previews, and 9:16 Cut for Stories. Make the main subject clear at smaller sizes and avoid tiny text. Square Cut is a safe default for feed posts, while 16:9 is useful when you want a wider link-share graphic. Borders help if you need contrast against the feed background.
X
Best Cut My Pic modes: 16:9 Cut for most posts, 1.91:1 Cut for wide link-style visuals, and 3:1 Cut for banner-style headers. Use bold, simple compositions and avoid cramming too much text into the image. Keep the focal point centered. A subtle border can help the image stand out in a fast-scrolling timeline.
Best Cut My Pic modes: 1.91:1 Cut for link-preview style graphics and 1:1 Cut for clean square posts. Keep the headline short and the design more businesslike than decorative. Use borders sparingly and keep contrast strong so the graphic still reads on desktop and mobile.
TikTok and Douyin
Best Cut My Pic preset: TikTok/Douyin at 9:16, with a recommended size of 1080 × 1920 px. Both platforms favor vertical content, so keep important elements in the center where interface controls are less likely to cover them. Leave extra breathing room around text and faces.
Best Cut My Pic mode: 2:3 Cut. Pinterest performs well with tall vertical images, and 2:3 is the safest default. A strong subject plus a readable title block usually works better than a busy collage. Crop vertically and keep the headline high contrast. If you want a polished pin, add a border only after the crop is final so the frame follows the final shape.
YouTube
Best Cut My Pic mode: 16:9 Cut. YouTube thumbnails should be wide, bold, and large enough to stay sharp in search and recommendations. Use big text, bold contrast, and a clear focal point. Keep the layout simple, and use borders only if they improve separation from the background. For thumbnail designs, readability matters more than decorative detail.
Xiaohongshu
Best Cut My Pic preset: Xiaohongshu Note at 3:4, with a recommended size of 1080 × 1440 px. This portrait format gives product photos, travel images, tutorials, and text-led notes enough vertical room. Keep the main subject and important text away from the outer edges so the post remains readable in the feed.
Best Cut My Pic preset: WeChat Cover at 2.35:1, with a recommended size of 900 × 383 px. It is a wide article-cover format, so use a strong horizontal composition, keep the focal point clear, and avoid small text near the edges.
Best Cut My Pic preset: Weibo Feed at 1:1, with a recommended size of 1080 × 1080 px. Square images are dependable in the feed and work well for photos, announcements, and graphics. Keep important content centered and apply decorative borders only after the crop is final.
