Keep only the post from your screenshot! Just pick a screenshot, and Cropper automatically removes everything except the post. We use social media to share joyful moments with the people around us, to feel a little closer to the artists we admire, and sometimes, to hold onto a photo that quietly moves us. But every time you find a photo you love, you take a screenshot, open your gallery, and crop it by hand. Over and over again. Social media is as vast as the universe, and the posts we want to keep are endless. Cropper saves you the time of trimming each one yourself. I hope Cropper helps you collect one more photo you love. What Cropper can do - Auto post detection: crops and saves just the post area from Instagram and other SNS screenshots - Many at once: select your piled-up screenshots and crop them in one batch - Right from Share: send a fresh screenshot to Cropper straight from the share button - Delete originals: remove the original screenshot right after saving - Album organizing: cropped photos are saved to the album you choose

Shake's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price and rating there is nothing between them.
