What does Crop Image do?

Crop Image cuts away the parts of a picture you do not want: an untidy background, a stranger at the edge of a group photo, the browser bar in a screenshot or the empty space around a product. It is also the quickest way to give an image the exact shape a platform expects – a square profile picture, a 16:9 video thumbnail, a 9:16 story or a 4:5 portrait post.

Visual or precise

After you open an image, a crop frame appears in the middle of the preview. Drag anywhere on the picture to draw a new frame, drag inside it to move it and use the eight handles to resize it. The current size in pixels is shown in the corner of the frame. If you need exact numbers, type the left and top position and the width and height in pixels; the frame follows immediately. Keyboard users can focus the frame and move it with the arrow keys, or resize it with Shift and the arrow keys.

Choose an aspect ratio to lock the shape: 1:1 for avatars and marketplace listings, 4:3 and 3:2 for classic photos, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails and presentations, 9:16 for Stories, Reels and TikTok, 4:5 for portrait posts and 3:1 for banners. Center crop places the largest frame with that ratio in the middle again.

Full quality

The preview is only a scaled view. The crop itself is cut from the original full-resolution image, so you lose no detail inside the area you keep. JPG, PNG and WebP files keep their format; transparency in PNG and WebP is preserved.

Private by design

Cropping happens on your device and the image is never uploaded. That makes the tool suitable for ID documents, receipts and screenshots that contain private information – crop the part you need and share only that.

How to crop an image

  1. Drop your image, choose it from your device or paste it with Ctrl+V.
  2. Pick an aspect ratio or leave it free, and adjust the frame on the preview.
  3. Click Crop image and download the result.

Frequently asked questions

Can I crop several images at once?

Each photo needs its own frame, so the tool works on one image at a time. To make many images the same size, use Resize Image.

Does cropping reduce the file size?

Yes. Fewer pixels mean a smaller file, often much smaller when you keep only a detail of a large photo.
