The short answer
Why use Triangle Crop?
A deliberate crop removes dead space and makes the subject easier to read at small sizes. Shape tools also handle the transparent corners that are awkward to build by hand.
Triangle Crop focuses on cropping a photo into a triangle shape with transparent corners. The crop is applied to a copy of the source. Shape crops use a transparent canvas, while square and perspective jobs keep the useful part of the frame in view.
The selected file stays in this browser tab and is released when you leave the page. Check that eyes, text, and logos have breathing room. Shape crops export as PNG so transparent corners are retained.
