Questions
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is read by your browser and processed on a canvas in the page. It never reaches a server, so nothing is uploaded and no copy is kept anywhere.
What is the difference between resize and crop?
Resizing scales the whole image to new dimensions and keeps everything in frame. Cropping cuts a region out and discards the rest. If you need a specific shape without squashing anything, crop first and then resize.
Will unlocking the aspect ratio distort the image?
Yes, if the new proportions differ from the original. That is what unlocking means. The lock exists to prevent it happening by accident.
Does making an image smaller lose quality?
Pixels are discarded, so detail is genuinely gone and scaling back up will not restore it. At the smaller size it will look correct. Keep the original if you may need the full resolution again.
