The Best Web-Based Online Image Cropper

Element Design has recently released a brand new version of it’s online image cropping service, Croply. Using the latest HTML5 specifications, Croply is the fastest and most accurate image cropping service available online.

Other web-based image cropping services have you upload an image to their server before you can begin working on it. One major disadvantage to this method is the amount of time it takes to upload the image. Depending on your internet connection and image size, it can be upwards to several minutes before you can start cropping. Another disadvantage is various privacy concerns, as your image is now residing on their server.

Croply performs everything in real-time on your computer. Image uploading is instant onto your browser (your image never leaves your computer), and all processing is completed through the HTML5 canvas element. From start to finish, you can crop and process an image in less than 5 seconds.

The results of the cropping process are fantastic as well, the image quality is identical to Photoshop and the file sizes are very similar. Below is a comparison between Croply and Photoshop.

Croply was originally designed for Photoshop-challenged clients. One of the largest hurdles for clients editing their sites was getting the images the correct size for various portions of the site. A feature added onto Croply is a “Share URL”, which is automatically generated based on the dimensions you input. You can create a “Share URL” for a client, and have them use that specific URL for creating images for slideshow areas, content posts, etc.

Croply is the perfect tool for novice to expert web designers, go ahead and bookmark http://croply.com now!
