SnapCrop Studio — AI Category Select

Transform an image, draw a crop region, or use browser-based object detection to select a subject before downloading a PNG.

What this tool does

SnapCrop Studio is a browser image cropper with rectangular, square, freehand, brush-path, circle, ellipse, and aspect-ratio crop modes. It also loads the COCO-SSD model through TensorFlow.js to find selectable people, cars, animals, books, chairs, laptops, and screens.

Who this is for

• People preparing images for social posts, presentations, or web content
• Designers and makers needing flexible crop shapes without desktop software
• Developers evaluating an in-browser image workflow with lightweight object detection

How to use this tool

1. Import an image file, then adjust zoom, rotation, skew, or the straighten tool if needed.
2. Choose a rectangle, freehand, brush, aspect-ratio, circle, or ellipse crop mode and draw on the canvas.
3. For AI selection, choose a category and click Auto Select Object; click a detected box to use that subject as the crop.
4. Apply or cancel the crop, use Grid or Invert Crop when helpful, and choose Download Image to save a PNG.

Inputs

The main input is a local image selected through the file picker. Controls include zoom from 10–500%, rotation from −180° to 180°, skew X/Y, crop aspect ratios of 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, and 3:4, crop shape, invert mode, and an AI category filter.

Outputs

The canvas previews the transformed image, crop handles, grid, inverted region, and AI detection boxes labeled with their class and confidence. Applying a crop updates the working image, and Download Image creates a PNG named snapcrop-ai-cat.png.

Example use cases

• Create a square profile image or a fixed-ratio thumbnail
• Cut out a circular or freehand subject shape for a design draft
• Quickly locate a person, vehicle, or other supported object before cropping
