Crop Image
Crop an image without uploading it anywhere: drag the frame over your photo or type exact pixel values, lock it to a ratio like 1:1 or 16:9, or pick a social media preset that crops and scales to the platform's exact size. The crop happens in your browser and you download the result.

How the image cropper works
Drag the frame to move it, pull the corner and edge handles to resize, and use the rule-of-thirds grid to line up the composition. The width, height and position fields mirror the frame in real image pixels — type a value and the frame follows, so you can hit an exact crop like 800×600 at offset 100,50.
Ratio presets keep the frame locked to 1:1, 16:9 and friends; social media presets additionally scale the cropped area to the platform's recommended dimensions, like 1080×1080 for an Instagram post. JPG, PNG and WebP keep their format; everything runs on a canvas in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I crop an image to a square?
- Choose "1:1 (Square)" in the aspect ratio list — the frame locks to a square you can move and resize freely. For a square at an exact size, like a 1080×1080 profile picture, pick the Instagram Post preset instead and the result is scaled to those dimensions.
- Can I crop to exact pixel coordinates?
- Yes. The width, height and X/Y position fields accept exact values in image pixels and the frame updates live. That's the reliable way to reproduce the same crop across several screenshots or scans.
- Does cropping reduce image quality?
- The pixels inside the frame are kept as they are — cropping itself discards only what's outside. JPG and WebP output is re-encoded at high quality, which is visually lossless in normal use; PNG output is lossless by nature.
- Is my photo uploaded while cropping?
- No. The image is displayed and cropped entirely in your browser on a local canvas, and the tool works offline once the page has loaded. Nothing you crop ever reaches a server.
