JPEG is the photo format, and the reason to keep a cropped photo as a JPG is size: the same image is a fraction of what a PNG would be. This tool keeps a JPG as a JPG rather than upgrading it to a much larger lossless file.
One thing worth knowing: JPEG is lossy, so saving re-encodes the image. The pixels you keep are copied at full resolution and the quality is set high, but repeatedly cropping and re-saving the same JPG will slowly soften it. Crop once from the original where you can. JPEG also has no transparency — a transparent source area becomes white.

Frequently asked questions
Does the crop stay a JPG?+
Yes — a JPEG source is saved as a JPG so the file stays small.
Does cropping reduce quality?+
The kept pixels are copied at full resolution, but JPEG re-encodes on save, so avoid repeatedly re-cropping the same file.
