Crop Image cuts out the part of a picture you keep, at full resolution. Drag a box or type pixels, lock 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9 or a custom ratio, crop a circle, and download JPEG, PNG, WebP or AVIF.
Cuts a rectangle out of the picture at full resolution. You draw the box on the photo, or type its width, height and position in pixels, and the tool copies exactly those pixels into a new file. Nothing is scaled unless you turn on Resize the result, so a 1200 × 800 crop from a 4000 × 3000 photo is genuinely 1200 × 800 pixels of the original. The result updates as you drag, and the badge in the corner shows the size in pixels and the file size it will download at.
The Circle shape clips the same box to a circle or oval and leaves the corners transparent, which is what most profile-picture uploads want. Everything runs in your browser; the photo is never uploaded.
A landscape photo from a phone is 4032 × 3024. For an Instagram post you pick the 1:1 preset: the box snaps to the largest square that fits, 3024 × 3024, centred. Drag it left so the subject sits on the right-hand third line, download as JPEG at quality 92 and you get a 3024 × 3024 file of about 1.9 MB. Turn on Resize the result at 1080 and the same crop comes out at exactly 1080 × 1080.
For a YouTube thumbnail choose 16:9 instead, which gives 4032 × 2268. Set Resize the result to 1280 and you get 1280 × 720 straight away, without a trip to Resize Image.
For an Instagram portrait post choose 4:5. The photo is wider than it is tall, so height is the limit: the box is 2419 × 3024, about 60% of the width. Resized to 1080 wide it becomes 1080 × 1350, the size Instagram shows portrait posts at.
Crop when the framing is wrong or when a platform wants a specific shape: square profile pictures, 9:16 stories, 16:9 headers, 3:2 or 5:4 prints. Crop before you resize, so the resize works on the final shape. If the image is the right shape but too many pixels, skip crop and go straight to Resize Image. If the horizon is tilted, straighten it with Rotate Image first, then crop away the empty corners. Cropping cannot add pixels that were never there; if the subject is small and far away the result will be small, and enlarging it afterwards will look soft.
For a passport or visa photo, where the head has to sit at a set height, use Passport Photo Maker, which draws the official guides. If the file is the right shape but too heavy for an upload, run Image Compressor after cropping.
Free lets the box take any shape. A ratio preset locks the shape while you drag; Custom lets you type your own, such as 21:9 for an ultrawide wallpaper. The Width and Height fields set the box in original-image pixels, and From left and From top position it precisely. Largest expands the box to the biggest size of the current shape that fits; Centre moves it to the middle without changing its size. Arrow keys nudge the box one pixel, Shift and arrows ten. Output Same keeps the original file type; pick PNG if you need transparency preserved.
Square switches to 1:1 and selects the largest square; Whole image goes back to the full picture. Alt and the arrow keys grow or shrink the box from its top-left corner, keeping the ratio. Resize the result scales the crop to the width you type, with quick picks of 400, 800, 1080, 1200 and 1920 px, and warns you when that would enlarge it. Quality starts at 92 for JPEG, WebP and AVIF, and Background fills transparent corners when the format cannot keep them. Under More options, File name defaults to the original name plus -cropped. Settings are remembered on this device.
Does cropping reduce quality? No. The pixels inside the box are copied out unchanged. Only the file wrapper is re-encoded, so keep PNG or Same for a lossless result, or set JPEG quality to 90 or more.
How do I crop to an exact size like 1080 × 1080? Pick the 1:1 preset and place the box, then turn on Resize the result and set the width to 1080; the height follows the square, so the file is exactly 1080 × 1080. You can also type 1080 into the crop Width field if the photo is big enough, and the locked ratio sets the height.
Can I crop a circle? Yes. Choose Circle under Crop area. A square box gives a circle, a non-square box an oval, and the corners are saved transparent as PNG or WebP. For rounded corners instead of a full circle, use Round Corner on the cropped square.
Is the photo uploaded anywhere? No. The crop is done by your browser on your own device. The page keeps working with the network switched off.
Why is the box smaller than the ratio I expected? A locked ratio is fitted inside the photo. A 4032 × 3024 landscape photo can only hold a 4:5 portrait box of 2419 × 3024, because the height is the limit. Use Largest to get the biggest box of that shape.
Does it keep the camera and location information? No. The crop is redrawn into a new file, so camera model, date and GPS location are not carried over. That is usually what you want before posting a photo publicly.
Can I crop several photos at once? Not here. Each photo needs its own box, so Crop Image works on one picture at a time. If you only need every photo at the same size, Resize Image has a batch mode with a ZIP download.
