Privacy-Focused Image Cutter — Your Images Stay on Your Device

Cut images with privacy in your browser — no upload, no account, no cloud retention. Your file is read on-device, the selection is applied on a client-side canvas, and you export without sending your image to a server.

Private cutting without a cloud upload

Cropper applies your rectangular cut on a client-side canvas in your browser — not a cloud cutter that stores your file first. Drag and resize the selection, lock aspect-ratio or social presets, optionally strip EXIF metadata before export, then download or copy. It does not include encrypted cloud storage, compliance badges, or account-based file history.

Why use a privacy-focused image cutter?

Cloud cutters upload sensitive images before any cut runs. Pix-8 keeps files local — the practical path when you need a privacy-focused image cutter that never routes your images through a remote server.

On-device processing

Your image is read locally and cut on a canvas in the browser. Pix-8 does not receive your image data.

Optional EXIF stripping

Remove location and camera metadata before export — a practical privacy step before sharing cut images.

No account required

Free to use with no sign-up and no cloud file retention tied to an account.

Frequently asked questions

Is this image cutter private — does it upload my images?

Yes, it is private by design. Pix-8 Cropper runs entirely in your browser. Your file is read locally, you define a rectangular cut with a draggable selection, and the cut is applied on a client-side canvas — it is never transmitted to Pix-8 or any third-party server. No account is required, and there is no cloud file retention.

What privacy features does this image cutter include?

Client-side processing keeps your image on your device throughout the workflow. Optional EXIF metadata stripping removes location and camera data before export. Drag and resize the cut area, choose aspect-ratio or social presets, preview output dimensions, then download or copy. It does not include end-to-end encryption, compliance certifications, or enterprise audit logging. For freeform keep-or-remove cutouts with transparent PNG output, use Pix-8 Custom Cutter.

Is a privacy-focused image cutter free to use?

Yes. The tool is free with no account required. All cutting runs client-side in your browser — your images stay on your device, with no cloud upload step.
