About freehand crop

Freehand Crop is part of the PixelDesk basic editing collection. Draw any shape over the photo and keep only what's inside it. Everyday corrections — cropping, rotating, watermarking, metadata and background clean-up — without installing an editor.

Because everything is processed locally, freehand crop works instantly even on large files, keeps full quality until you choose to compress, and never stores a copy of your picture. There is no queue, no sign-up and no daily limit.
