Crop any image right in your browser
Trim a screenshot, square up a profile picture, or cut a banner to size - this cropper does it instantly on your own device. Drag the selection box, fine-tune it with the handles, and download. Because nothing is uploaded, even private photos, IDs and confidential documents never leave your computer.
Lock a ratio for social media
Need a perfect square for Instagram, a 16:9 thumbnail, or a 9:16 story? Pick the aspect ratio and the selection box snaps to it as you drag, so your crop fits the platform exactly. Choose Free when you just want to cut to any shape.
Full quality, your choice of format
The cropped area is taken straight from your image at its original resolution - no hidden downscaling. Export as JPG for photos, PNG to keep transparency, or WebP for the smallest file.
Pixel-exact output, explained
A subtle problem with many crop tools: you drag a box on a preview that is displayed smaller than the real image, and the tool translates your selection back to full resolution with rounding errors - ask for a square and get 539 x 540. This tool stores your selection as exact fractions of the original image and enforces aspect ratios in the image's native pixels, not the on-screen preview, so a 1:1 crop is exactly square and a 16:9 crop is exactly 16:9 at full resolution. The dimensions readout under the crop box always shows the true output size before you commit.
Where cropping fits in a workflow
Typical order of operations: crop first (composition), then resize if a platform needs specific dimensions, then compress for file size. Cropping first means the resizer and compressor only work on pixels you are keeping. Common jobs: squaring a photo for a profile picture, cutting a single window out of a full-screen screenshot, trimming whitespace from a scanned document, and converting a phone's 4:3 photo to 3:2 or A4-ish proportions for printing.
Limitations to know
Cropping is destructive to the discarded area - there is no "uncrop", so keep your original. Output is re-encoded (choose PNG for graphics with text, JPG or WebP for photos), and one image is processed at a time; there is no batch mode, because accurate cropping is inherently a per-image decision.
FAQ
Are my images uploaded to a server?
- No - cropping happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
- No - the cropped area keeps its original resolution. If you keep the same format there is no rescaling, so the cut is pixel-perfect.
Can I crop to a specific aspect ratio?
- Yes - choose a preset like 1:1, 16:9, 4:3 or 9:16 and the selection box locks to that ratio, or pick Free to crop to any shape.
Which image formats can I crop?
- JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF. You can export the result as JPG, PNG or WebP.
