Install & launch

Croppy is on conda-forge, so install it as a global command-line app with Pixi in one line:

pixi global install croppy

Don't have Pixi?

Install Pixi first — it's a one-line command for macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Updating

Update Croppy to the latest release with:

pixi global update croppy

Croppy also checks for a newer version on startup and lets you know when one is available.

Uninstalling

Remove Croppy with:

pixi global uninstall croppy

Launching

Croppy app icon Croppy app icon

Once installed, launch Croppy like any other app — look for this icon. It registers itself in the usual places:

  • Windows — the Start menu (and a desktop shortcut)
  • macOS — the Applications folder / Launchpad
  • Linux — your application menu

Prefer the terminal? It's also a command:

croppy                    # opens on the Clip tab — drop a video or click to browse
croppy path/to/clip.mp4   # opens straight into the Clip editor with that clip

GPU is optional

A recent NVIDIA GPU lets Croppy encode faster (NVENC). Without one it simply uses the CPU instead.
