    How to use the Image Cropper

    1. Choose an image, drop it on the box, paste it, or press Load From URL.
    2. Pick an Aspect ratio, or leave it on Free.
    3. Drag inside the box to move it, or drag a handle to resize it. For exact numbers, type X, Y, Width, and Height in the fields below the image.
    4. Choose the output format and press Crop and download. The cropped image is saved right away.

    Keyboard: focus the crop box with Tab, then use the arrow keys to move it by 1 pixel, or Shift and an arrow key to move it by 10.

    How it works

    The crop box is kept in the image's own pixels, not screen pixels, so a crop drawn on a small screen is exact on a 50-megapixel photo.

    • With a ratio set, the box keeps it while you drag. Dragging a corner resizes from the opposite corner, and dragging an edge keeps the box centered on the other axis.
    • The box can't leave the image. Values you type are clamped to the image.
    • The selected pixels are copied one for one, with no scaling. Only the saving step can change anything: PNG and lossless WebP are exact, and JPG is saved at quality 95 with full color resolution.
    • A photo with a rotation tag is shown and cropped the right way up.

    Examples

    • A square profile picture: pick 1:1 and drag the box over the face. From a 1600 × 1067 photo the largest square is 1067 × 1067.
    • A YouTube thumbnail from a 4000 × 3000 photo: pick 16:9 and stretch the box to the full width to get 4000 × 2250, then resize it to 1280 × 720 with the Image Resizer.
    • Remove a 40 px border from a 1000 × 800 scan: type X 40, Y 40, Width 920, Height 720.

    Aspect ratios and where they are used

    RatioCommon use
    1:1Profile pictures, square social posts, product photos
    4:3Most phone and compact camera photos, tablets
    3:2DSLR and mirrorless photos, 6 × 4 inch prints
    16:9Video, YouTube thumbnails, widescreen wallpapers
    9:16Stories, Reels, Shorts, phone wallpapers

    Need a ratio that is not listed? Choose Custom and type it as width:height, for example 5:4. The Aspect Ratio Calculator helps you find the missing side.

    Limitations

    • One image at a time.
    • Crops are rectangular. Circles and free shapes are not supported.
    • Animated GIF and WebP files give a still crop of the first frame.
    • AVIF sources are saved as JPG, PNG, or WebP, or as AVIF when you keep the original format.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does cropping reduce image quality?

    The kept pixels are copied exactly. PNG and lossless WebP output are identical to that part of the original. JPG output is saved again at quality 95 with full color resolution, which you will not see.

    How do I crop an image to a square?

    Choose the 1:1 ratio. The box becomes square and stays square while you move or resize it.

    Can I crop to exact pixel values?

    Yes. Type the left edge (X), top edge (Y), width, and height in pixels. The box moves to match, and the values are kept inside the image.

    Is my image uploaded when I crop it?

    No. The image is opened and cropped in your browser, and the result is created there too.
