How to use the tool

  1. Add a photo, or drop one on the box.

Questions

Is it private?

Yes. The crop runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded. The HEIC decoder downloads once, when you first add a HEIC photo.

Why 300 ppi?

It is the labs' figure. Mpix recommends 250-300 DPI, Walgreens at least 200 PPI (its developer page says 300 DPI), and Shutterfly 300 dpi or higher for scans. The tool divides your pixels by 300.

HEIC decoding uses heic-to and libheif, free software licensed under the GNU LGPL 3.0. They are included unmodified as a separate file, loaded only when you add a HEIC photo. The source code is at the links above.
