About
What Crop Image does
Crop a photo by dragging a frame over the part you want, or snap to an exact shape: square, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 or their upright versions. The size it will download at is shown as you go, and it keeps the format you started with.
Drop a photo and the image editor opens right here with Crop selected. Straighten, turn or adjust it in the same place if it needs it; the crop is cut from the original, at full resolution.
Everything happens on your own machine: the file is decoded, processed and re-encoded by your browser, and never leaves your device. There is no upload, no queue and no account.
Why this one
Why use Crop Image here
-
Free, or an exact shape
Crop freely, or pick the photo's own shape, square, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 or their upright versions. Hold Shift to keep a shape while you drag.
-
The exact size as you drag
The width and height it will download at are shown under the picture while you crop.
-
Full resolution
The crop is cut from your original file at download, so the pixels you keep are the pixels you had.
-
Straighten and fix it too
Level a tilted horizon, turn or mirror the photo, or adjust its light and colour in the same place, and undo any step.

Check the size under the picture: it is what the download will be.

Questions
Frequently asked
How do I crop an image?
Drop it here and it opens with Crop selected. Drag the edges to frame what you want, or pick a ratio such as square or 16:9, then download.
Does cropping reduce quality?
Cropping itself only discards the pixels outside your selection — the pixels you keep are unchanged. Some quality loss can occur when the result is re-encoded in a lossy format such as JPG.
Which aspect ratio should I use?
1:1 for profile pictures and square posts, 16:9 for video thumbnails, slides and desktop wallpapers, and 9:16 for stories, reels and phone wallpapers. 3:2 and 4:3 are the shapes most cameras take; choose Free when the composition matters more than the shape.
Can I crop several images at once?
Yes. Add them all, crop one, then right-click its thumbnail, choose Copy settings, and Paste to all. Every photo of the same shape gets exactly the same crop.
How do I crop a photo to a square?
Pick 1:1. The frame snaps to the largest square that fits, and you can drag it over the part you want to keep.
Can I crop to an exact size in pixels?
Not by typing it in. Crop to the shape you want, then set the exact width and height on the Resize tab, in the same editor.
Are my images uploaded?
No. They are processed inside this page, on your device, and saved straight back to it. Nothing is sent to a server, so there is no copy anywhere else to delete.
