How to Crop an Image

Frame your crop
Pick an aspect ratio like 1:1 or 16:9, then drag the crop box to move it or drag a corner to resize it. Or type exact pixel values.
Download the result
Tap Crop Image and download your cropped file in the same format you started with.
Common Reasons to Crop an Image
Cropping is about framing. It removes distracting edges, straightens up a subject, and forces an image into the shape a platform expects. Most upload failures and awkward auto-crops happen because the source image is the wrong shape, not the wrong size.
- Profile pictures that need a clean 1:1 square with the face centered.
- Instagram posts and Reels covers using 1:1, 4:5, and 9:16 framing.
- YouTube thumbnails that need a 16:9 crop before scaling to 1280×720.
- Product photos for Etsy, Shopify, and eBay, where a consistent square crop keeps a listing grid tidy.
- Screenshots trimmed down to just the relevant panel, dialog, or error message.
- Printing, where 3:2 and 4:3 crops match standard photo paper sizes.
Crop first, then resize
If you need both a new shape and a new pixel size, crop first to fix the aspect ratio, then run the result through the resizer. Doing it the other way around can leave you with a stretched or awkwardly padded image.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this online image cropper free?+
Yes. You can crop as many images as you like for free, with no signup, no watermark, and no limits on how many files you process.
Are my images uploaded to a server?+
No. Cropping runs entirely in your browser using the HTML canvas. Your image never leaves your device, which makes this safe for ID documents, screenshots, and client work.
What file formats can I crop?+
JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WebP up to 25MB. The cropped file is saved in the same format you uploaded, so PNG transparency is preserved.
How do I crop an image to a square (1:1)?+
Upload your image, tap the 1:1 aspect ratio button, then drag the crop box to frame the part you want. The box stays perfectly square while you resize it.
Can I crop to an exact pixel size?+
Yes. Type exact width, height, and offset values in the fields next to the preview and the crop box updates instantly.
Does cropping reduce image quality?+
Cropping only removes pixels outside your selection — the pixels you keep stay at their original resolution. JPG and WebP are re-encoded at high quality, and PNG stays lossless.
What's the difference between cropping and resizing?+
Cropping cuts away parts of the image to change its framing or aspect ratio. Resizing keeps the whole image but changes its pixel dimensions. Use our resizer if you need to change the size without cutting anything.
