FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does Face Crop Jet work?
Face Crop Jet uses AI-based face detection algorithms to detect and crop faces from photos. Load a photo, an entire folder, or a PDF form, click Process, and the software outputs perfectly framed, ID-card-ready images at your chosen dimensions.
Can Face Crop Jet crop faces from PDF files?
Yes. Drop PDF application forms or scanned documents straight into the app — every page is rendered as a high-resolution image, faces are detected on each page, and each one is cropped out ID-ready. PDF support is built in; no conversion tools are needed.
Does Face Crop Jet use my GPU?
Yes, automatically. Face detection runs on the GPU — via DirectML on Windows and Apple silicon (CoreML) on macOS — so large batches process in minutes. If no compatible GPU is available, it falls back to the CPU. No configuration needed.
How many images can I process?
There is no limit on the number of images you can process. Face Crop Jet processes images in batch from a folder or external device — hundreds or thousands in a single run.
Which operating systems are supported?
Face Crop Jet is available for Windows and macOS. There is also a special Service Edition for Windows Servers that runs unattended as a Windows Service.
What is the limitation of the trial?
The trial version is fully functional. The only limitation is that every processed image bears a trial watermark. Buying a license removes the watermark.
Are my images safe? Are they uploaded anywhere?
All image processing happens locally on your machine. Images never leave your system, so you can be 100% sure about your privacy.
How much does the software cost?
The Standard Edition is licensed per user, with one active user-and-computer activation per key. If several people use Face Crop Jet — even on a shared computer — each person needs a separate license. An administrator may install the application once for all users, but each user activates it with their own key. Windows and macOS licenses cost $59; the Service Edition costs $200. All are one-time payments.
