Image Cropper and Image Resizer both change the visible area of an image, but in different ways. Cropper removes parts of the image to focus on a specific area, while Resizer scales the entire image to new dimensions.
| Feature | Image Cropper | Image Resizer |
|---|---|---|
| What changes | Visible area (crops edges) | Pixel dimensions (scales entire image) |
| Content loss | Removes cropped areas | No content removed |
| Focus | Select specific region | Scale entire image |
| Aspect ratio | Freeform or preset ratios | Locked or freeform |
| Best for | Removing borders, focusing subjects | Platform-specific sizing |
Use Image Cropper when you need to remove unwanted areas — cutting off a border, focusing on a face in a photo, or formatting an image to a specific aspect ratio by trimming edges.
Use Image Resizer when you need the entire image at different dimensions — creating thumbnails, sizing for social media platforms, or making images responsive for different screen sizes.
