Is cropping images really free?
Yes, completely free with no limits. Crop unlimited images of any size, as many times as you want. No watermarks, no signup, no credit card required.
Do my images get uploaded to a server?
Never. All cropping happens locally on your computer. Your images never leave your device.
Can I crop to an exact aspect ratio?
Yes. Lock the crop to common ratios like 1:1 (square), 4:5, 16:9, or 3:2, so the result fits social posts, thumbnails, or print without guesswork.
Can I crop to exact pixel dimensions?
Yes. Enter a target width and height in pixels and FileHop crops to those exact dimensions.
What's the difference between cropping and resizing?
Cropping removes parts of the image to change its framing or shape. Resizing keeps the whole image but changes its pixel dimensions. Use the Resize Image tool if you want to scale rather than trim.
Can I crop many photos at once?
Yes. Apply the same crop ratio or dimensions across a folder of images in a single batch.
Does it work offline?
Yes, FileHop works 100% offline after installation. No internet connection is required to crop images.
What platforms are supported?
Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows (10, 11). Download the version for your operating system.
