Cut away distracting edges, frame a portrait or turn a landscape photo into a square for social media. Drag the crop box with your mouse or finger, pull its corners and edges to change the size, and lock it to a common ratio such as 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:4 or 9:16 when you need a precise shape.
The current crop size is shown in pixels, and you can type exact X, Y, width and height values for pixel-perfect results. Save the crop as JPG, PNG or WebP at full resolution. The image is cropped locally by your browser: it is not uploaded, so screenshots and personal photos remain confidential.
How to use the Crop Image tool

- Pick an aspect ratio, or leave it on Free to crop any shape.

- Choose the output format and click Crop & download.

Which aspect ratio should I choose?
1:1 is the square used for profile pictures, Instagram posts and many ID photo portals. 4:3 matches most phone and compact camera photos, and 16:9 fits widescreen video, YouTube thumbnails and presentation slides. The tall ratios 3:4 and 9:16 suit portrait prints, Stories, Reels and TikTok covers.
For a good composition, try the rule of thirds: place the subject’s eyes or the horizon about one third of the way into the frame rather than in the exact centre.
Frequently asked questions
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No. Cropping only removes the outer parts; the pixels you keep are unchanged. If you save as JPG or WebP there is a small re-encoding step, so choose PNG if you need a perfect copy.
How do I crop an image into a square?
Select the 1:1 ratio, drag the box over the part you want, and download. The result has equal width and height.
Can I crop to an exact pixel size?
Yes. Type the width and height in the number fields. If you then need a different final size, run the result through Resize Image.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The crop box responds to touch, so you can move and resize it with your finger on phones and tablets.
