When I add a stock image app, is it at the client level or page level?

It will be added on the client level. The benefit to this is that you will only have to install a stock image app once, as opposed to one page at a time.

Can I customize (crop, resize, etc) the stock photos that I add to my page?

You can edit your stock images by customizing the image properties in the Smart Builder.

What happens if I am using images from an app and I uninstall it?

Since the images are downloaded to your user account, the app will uninstall from the builder but the images will remain within the account.
