Frequently asked questions
Can the box follow a moving subject?
No. The same crop is used throughout the animation. Check the live result to make sure the subject stays inside it.
How do I make a square GIF?
Choose 1:1, adjust the box, and download. Use Resize GIF afterwards if you also need a particular square size.
Can I crop with the keyboard?
Focus the crop box and use arrow keys to move it one pixel, or hold Shift for ten pixels. Numeric fields set its size and position.
