What is the difference between Absolute and Perceptual tolerance?

Absolute tolerance uses raw color distance values (0-255), while Perceptual tolerance adjusts calculations to match how the human eye perceives color differences.

Can I trim images without losing edge details?

Yes, enable 'Smart Edge Padding' to add a small buffer proportional to your tolerance, preventing the tool from cutting too close to your subject.

What happens if I select 'Analyze Only'?

The tool will calculate the crop boundaries based on your settings without generating a new file, allowing you to test your tolerance values first.

Does this tool support transparent backgrounds?

The tool detects and trims based on the color values you define; if your image has a solid background color, it will be removed effectively.

Which file formats are supported?

You can upload JPEG, PNG, WebP, and TIFF files, and choose to export in any of these formats.
