LLCrop ("ll" stands for lossless) can do [cropping without quality-losses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression#JPEG) because it crops the raw JPEG photo, without

This app if focused on "lossless jpg" image manipulation so isses that propose additional features
like "add text to image" or support "png" file format are out of scope.
