Question 1

Does cropping affect BMP quality?

Accepted Answer

No. Cropping removes pixels outside the crop area without resampling. Quality is preserved.

Question 2

Does cropping reduce BMP file size?

Accepted Answer

Yes, proportionally. Since BMP is uncompressed, file size is directly proportional to pixel count. Cropping to 50% of the area halves the file size.

Question 3

Can I compress while cropping?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Under "Image Compression," choose any method. Since BMP is uncompressed, combining crop + compression gives dramatic file size reduction.

Question 4

Can I also resize while cropping?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Under "Image resolution," set by percentage or keep original.

Question 5

Should I crop as BMP or convert to PNG?

Accepted Answer

For modern use, BMP to PNG gives lossless compression at much smaller file sizes. Keep BMP only for legacy Windows applications.
