Will the transparent background stay transparent?

Yes. The checkerboard behind your image shows which parts are transparent, and saving as PNG keeps them that way.

Why is my cropped PNG so large?

PNG keeps every pixel, so a photo saved as PNG is large. For a photo, switch Save as to Smallest: it tries each format, keeps the smallest, and never picks JPG for an image with transparency.

Can I crop several PNGs at once?

Yes. Add them together and they all get the same crop, worked out as a proportion of each image. Trim empty edges trims to the first image, so check the others in the list before you save them.

Does cropping blur the edges?

No. The pixels you keep are copied without being resized, and PNG saves them without the compression that softens JPG edges.

Trim the empty edges

Exported logos and stickers often arrive with a wide transparent border, so they sit off-center or too small wherever you place them. Trim empty edges finds the visible part of the image and crops to it, edge to edge.

It ignores the faint, nearly invisible pixels some design apps leave behind, so a stray speck of shadow does not stop the trim short.

What saving as JPG would change

PNG keeps every pixel and can store transparency, which is why logos, icons, and screenshots use it. Save a cropped logo as JPG and its transparent background turns into a solid color block; save a screenshot as JPG and small text goes soft at the edges.

This page saves as PNG to start with, so neither happens. You can still switch the format under Save as.

Cropping a photo instead? It usually comes out much smaller as JPG or WebP in the image cropper.
