## What is PixelCrop?

Built by landscape photographer Martin Podt, PixelCrop brings the same framing and editing tools he uses in his own workflow — designed for photographers who value precision, simplicity, and privacy.

PixelCrop gives you precise control over how your photos are framed, split, and presented — with a built-in editor for fine-tuning every detail. Fast, clean, no ads.

Free to use. Upgrade to Pro for all features.

No ads, no tracking, no data collection. Just your photos, exactly as you want them.
