About Crop Image

Crop an image by dragging a selection, or snap to a preset aspect ratio when you need an exact shape. The result keeps the format you started with.

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.

How to crop image

  1. Drop in the image you want to crop.
  2. Drag the handles to set the area you want to keep, or pick a preset ratio to constrain the selection.
  3. The output dimensions update live as you adjust.
  4. Download the cropped image.

Frequently asked questions

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 suits avatars and most social grid posts, 16:9 suits video thumbnails and slides, and 4:5 is the tallest portrait format most social feeds display in full. Use Free when the composition matters more than the container.
Can I crop several images at once?
No — cropping is a per-image decision, so this tool works on one image at a time. To apply the same pixel change to a batch, resizing is the tool you want.
