The browser enforces this: the site’s security policy only lets the page talk to the code libraries’ servers and an anonymous usage counter (tool name, file type, size range). A request carrying your file to anywhere else would be blocked before it left.
Check it yourself: open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, and run the tool. Or turn off Wi-Fi once the tool has loaded; it keeps working.
How it works
Drag to draw a rectangle on the image, then save just that region as a PNG.
The image is rendered to a canvas in the browser at its native resolution. Drag from one corner to the opposite to mark the crop region; the selection is shown with a dashed overlay. When you hit Crop, just the selected rectangle is written to a fresh PNG (lossless, transparency preserved if the source had it). The minimum crop size is 4x4 pixels (anything smaller is treated as a misclick). For aspect-ratio-locked crops (e.g. exactly 16:9), you'd need to size by hand currently. Output filename has -cropped.png appended. Useful for grabbing a face from a group photo, isolating a chart from a screenshot, or trimming whitespace.
