Click Crop, then download your image. Everything happens in your browser, so nothing is ever uploaded anywhere.

Which crop option to pick

There are four options: Free, 1:1, 4:3 and 16:9. Here is when each one is the right choice.

Option	Shape	Good for
Free	Any shape you drag out	Cutting out one part of a photo, or trimming the edges
1:1	Square	Profile pictures, square social posts, product thumbnails
4:3	A little wider than tall	Classic photo shape, slides, many tablets
16:9	Wide	YouTube thumbnails, video covers, widescreen slides

Those four are all we offer for now. If you need something else, like 4:5 for an Instagram portrait post, pick Free and crop by eye, then check the result with the aspect ratio finder. Once the shape is right, the resize tool can set the exact pixel size.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Crop Image Tool?

The Crop Image Tool lets you crop an image by selecting the exact area you want to keep and then download the cropped result.

Which image formats are supported?

You can upload JPG, PNG, or WebP files, and the cropped result downloads in the same format as your original.

How do I upload an image?

Drag and drop your file onto the upload box, or click it to browse your device.

Can I crop an image freely?

Yes. Select the Free option to resize the crop area without locking it to a specific aspect ratio.

Which aspect ratios are available?

The tool provides four cropping options: Free, 1:1 for a square, 4:3, and 16:9.

Can I move the crop area?

Yes. Click or drag the selected crop area to position it over the part of the image you want to keep.

Can I resize the crop area?

Yes. The crop selection has four corner handles that you can drag to increase or decrease the cropping area.

Does the tool upload my images to a server?

No. Everything happens directly in your browser. Your image never leaves your device.

Can I download the cropped image?

Yes. Once you are happy with your selection, click Crop Image, then click the download button that appears.

Will the cropped image keep its original format?

Yes. The cropped result downloads in the same format as the image you uploaded.

How do I crop a photo into a square?

Upload the photo, choose the 1:1 option, drag the box over the part you want to keep and click Crop Image. Use the corner handles to make the square bigger or smaller.

How do I crop an image for a profile picture?

Use 1:1. Most sites show profile photos as a circle or a rounded square, so keep the face near the middle of the box with a little space around it.

Does cropping lower the quality of my picture?

No. The tool keeps the original pixels inside the box you selected. JPEG and WebP files are saved again at high quality, which most people cannot tell apart from the original. The cropped file is also smaller in dimensions, so it is usually a smaller file too.

What is the difference between cropping and resizing?

Cropping removes part of the picture. Resizing keeps the whole picture and changes its pixel size. To get a specific size from a photo with a different shape, crop first and resize second.
