Frequently Asked Questions
A custom shape crop lets you cut out part of an image using your own manually drawn outline instead of a fixed rectangle, square, or circle. It is commonly used when you want more precise control around a subject, logo, object, or irregular shape and need a transparent cutout for design work or reuse.
Upload your image, click around the area you want to keep to place points, and close the shape once the outline is complete. After the polygon selection is finished, the tool cuts out the selected area and lets you download the result as a transparent PNG.
Custom shape crop downloads as PNG because the area outside your drawn shape needs to stay transparent. JPG does not support transparency, so PNG is the correct format when you want only the cutout area to remain visible.
Use polygon crop when you want manual control over the exact outline and do not want to rely on automatic subject detection. Use Remove Background when you want a faster AI-style cutout for common subjects and are comfortable letting the tool decide most of the edge selection automatically.
No. The crop runs locally in your browser, and your image stays on your device while you create and download the cutout. The tool does not upload your file to a remote server for processing or storage.
