Stop fixing uploaded images after they arrive

Save time manually correcting image issues in the backend.

Instead of accepting a 12 MB HEIC photo, discovering it's the wrong aspect ratio and processing it on your server, CropGuide fixes it in the user's browser before upload.

Less bandwidth
Less storage
Less backend processing
Fewer invalid uploads
Consistent output
A better user experience

Crop to a fixed aspect ratio
