Crop images
Drag on the image to draw a crop box. With a fixed ratio selected, the box keeps that ratio automatically.

When to use it
- A profile photo, ID photo, or application requires a fixed 1:1 or 3:4 ratio, and the original framing is wrong, so you need to place the crop precisely around a face.
- A screenshot includes a browser frame, chat avatar, or extra blank space, and you want a clean 16:9 crop before posting it.
When not to
- You want to fit a landscape image into a portrait canvas without losing any content — cropping always removes pixels; add a border or stitch instead.
- You still need to rotate, straighten, or correct perspective — this tool only does rectangular crops; use an image editor for those.
Cropping runs in your browser; images are never uploaded. Limits: one image at a time; rectangular crops only, with no rotation or straightening; JPG output fills white and drops EXIF, while PNG keeps transparency; the box can't be moved after you release it, so drag again; export uses the original resolution, and very large images are limited by canvas memory.
Frequently asked
At what resolution is the crop exported, and is it compressed?
It's mapped back to the original image resolution, not the size shown on screen. For example, a 4000×3000 photo cropped to half its width exports at roughly 2000×3000. JPG is re-encoded at quality 0.92 with a white background; PNG is lossless and keeps transparency.
How do I crop a 1:1 profile picture or a 3:4 ID photo?
Pick 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:4, or 3:2 under Ratio, then drag a box on the image; the tool constrains it to the ratio using the shorter side. Once you release, the box can't be dragged or fine-tuned — drag a new one if the position is off. Check that the box stays inside the image before exporting.
Does cropping keep EXIF data and transparency?
JPG output fills a white background and drops EXIF, capture time, and GPS. PNG output keeps the alpha channel but also writes no EXIF. Phone photos are generally cropped according to the orientation the browser displays. Back up the original before cropping, and don't overwrite it with the result.
