How to use it
- 1
Load an image
Choose a JPEG, PNG, or AVIF file from your device. The selected image is opened in the browser workspace without being uploaded to a server.
- 2
Set the crop area
Drag the crop handles to frame the subject, remove empty margins, or isolate the part of a screenshot that matters for the next task.
- 3
Preview the result
Check the crop dimensions and visible content before export. This helps avoid cutting off labels, interface controls, or product edges.
- 4
Download the cropped image
Export the cropped copy from the browser and keep the original unchanged. You can reopen the source if another frame is needed.
Common use cases
Security and privacy
Local crop workflow
Cropping runs in the browser and does not require a server upload route for the source image. Frisbly does not need filenames, EXIF data, accounts, or user identifiers to frame the selected area. The exported copy is created from the local canvas state, and the original remains unchanged on your device unless you decide to replace it yourself.
Supported inputs and outputs
Supported crop inputs
- JPEG, PNG, and AVIF images opened from the local device.

FAQ
Does cropping upload the source image?
No. The selected image is decoded and cropped in the browser, so the original does not need to leave your device.
Will the original file be changed?
No. Frisbly exports a new cropped copy. The original file stays where it was unless you manually replace it outside the browser.
Can I crop screenshots?
Yes. Screenshots are a common use case, especially when you need to remove browser controls, sidebars, or unrelated desktop areas.
Should I crop before compression?
Usually yes. Removing unused pixels first can make compression faster and produce smaller output because there is less image area to encode.
Can I crop for social previews?
Yes. Use the crop area to frame the important subject before resizing or compressing for cards, thumbnails, or shared links.
