How it works
Add an image
Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF or AVIF file onto the box, or click it to choose one.
Set the crop area
Drag the box and its corners, choose an aspect ratio, or type X, Y, width and height.
Crop and download
Press Crop image, check the preview and download the result.
How to crop an image
Add your image and a crop box appears over it. Drag the box to move it, or drag a corner to change its size. When the framing looks right, press Crop image. The result appears below with its size in pixels, ready to download.
The tool crops one image at a time, because every picture needs its own framing.
Aspect ratio guide
| Ratio | Common use |
|---|---|
| 1:1 | Profile pictures and square posts |
| 4:5 | Portrait posts on social media |
| 4:3 | Classic photos and slides |
| 3:2 | Camera photos and prints |
| 16:9 | Video thumbnails and wide banners |
| 9:16 | Stories, Reels and vertical video |
When you pick a ratio, the crop box keeps that shape while you resize it. Choose Free to crop to any shape.
Precise cropping with pixel values
The X and Y fields set the top-left corner of the crop, and Width and Height set its size, all in pixels of the original image. This is handy when you need an exact size. You can also select the crop box and use the arrow keys to nudge it by one pixel, or hold Shift to move ten pixels at a time.
Crop vs resize
Cropping removes parts of the picture and keeps the remaining pixels untouched. Resizing keeps the whole picture and changes its dimensions. To get an exact size from a photo with a different shape, crop to the right ratio first, then use the Resize Image tool.
Tips for better crops
- Use the thirds grid inside the box to place the subject off centre.
- Leave a little breathing room around faces and edges.
- Crop from the original file and keep a copy, because a crop cannot be undone later.
- Save as PNG or WebP if your image has transparent areas you want to keep.
Choosing the output format
Each crop keeps its original format unless you choose another. JPG fills transparent areas with the background colour you select, while PNG and WebP keep transparency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I crop several images at once?
Not in one go. Each image needs its own crop area, so the tool works on one image at a time.
Does cropping lower the quality?
The pixels inside the crop are copied as they are. Saving as JPG or WebP applies compression at the quality you choose.
How do I crop to an exact size?
Crop to the right ratio, then use the resize tool. You can also type the exact width and height of the crop in pixels.
Will transparency be kept?
Yes for PNG and WebP output. JPG cannot store transparency.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser.
