Troubleshooting
Crop area is too small after adjusting sliders
Solution
Reduce the margin values on opposing sides (left/right or top/bottom) to increase the visible crop area.
Output does not match the selected aspect ratio
Solution
Make sure you have selected the desired preset before clicking Crop Image. The Free mode ignores ratio constraints.
Black bars appear in PNG output
Solution
Switch to Free mode and adjust sliders manually. Some ratio presets may add padding if the source image proportions differ significantly.
