This image cropper lets you trim a photo to exactly the area you want by dragging a selection box — freehand or locked to a common aspect ratio. It runs entirely in your browser, so your images stay private and the crop is instant.
Crop for any platform
- 1:1 — square profile pictures and Instagram posts.
- 4:3 / 3:2 — classic photo proportions.
- 16:9 — YouTube thumbnails, banners and slides.
- 9:16 — Stories, Reels and TikTok verticals.
Cropping tips
Use the rule-of-thirds guide lines to place your subject off-centre for a more dynamic composition. Because cropping only removes pixels and never rescales the kept area, the part you keep stays pixel-perfect. Need to change the dimensions afterwards? Resize the result with the image resizer, or convert it with the image converter.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I crop an image?
Upload a photo, then drag the corners of the selection box to choose the area to keep, or drag the middle to move it. Click Download to save just the cropped region.
Can I crop to a fixed aspect ratio?
Yes. Pick a preset like 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 or 9:16 and the selection locks to that ratio as you resize — perfect for profile pictures, thumbnails and social posts.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No. Cropping keeps the original pixels inside the selected area at full resolution — it simply discards the parts outside it. There is no quality loss on the kept region.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Cropping happens entirely in your browser using the HTML canvas, so your image never leaves your device. It is private and works offline.
What size will the cropped image be?
The output matches the pixels you selected from the original. The tool shows the exact output width and height in pixels as you adjust the selection.
What format is the download?
JPGs are saved as JPG and everything else as PNG, so transparency is preserved where it exists. You can convert the result with the image converter if you need a different format.
