About Crop Image

Crop image edges when a photo has a stranger in the corner, a screenshot shows more than it should, or a profile picture needs to be square. Drag a box on the picture to choose what to keep, move it around, and pull the corners to adjust. The exact pixel size of your selection is shown as you go.

Lock the shape with a ratio: 1:1 for avatars and product photos, 4:5 for portrait posts, 16:9 for banners and slides, 9:16 for stories, plus 4:3, 3:2 and 2:1. Animated GIFs and WebPs are cropped frame by frame and keep moving. The cropped picture is saved in the same format as the original, so a transparent PNG stays transparent.

How to use Crop Image

  1. 1
    Open your picture

    Choose or drop a JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF or BMP. It appears on the page with a crop box.

  2. 2
    Pick a ratio

    Leave it on Free or choose 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16, 4:5 or 2:1 to lock the shape.

  3. 3
    Drag the crop box

    Move the box and drag its corners until it covers what you want. The selected size shows in pixels.

  4. 4
    Crop and download

    Click Crop Image and save the result. Only the area inside the box is kept.

FAQ

Crop Image: questions and answers

How do I crop an image to a square?
Choose 1:1 under Aspect ratio. The box becomes a square you can move and resize, and the result is exactly square. A round avatar with transparent corners is what Circle Crop makes.
Does it lower quality when I crop a photo?
The pixels you keep aren't resized. PNG and GIF stay lossless, and a JPG is saved again at a high quality setting, so any change is hard to see. The pixel size can then be changed with Resize Image.
Can I crop images on my phone?
Yes. The crop box follows your finger in Safari and Chrome on iPhone and Android, and the result saves to your photos or files.
How many pictures can I crop for free?
Visitors get 2 tasks in total and free accounts 2 each day, for pictures up to 50 MB. VIP has no daily limit and accepts files up to 1 GB.
Is my photo stored after cropping?
Only for an hour, then it's deleted automatically. The upload is encrypted, the crop runs in an isolated process, and we don't look at, share or sell your pictures.
Share Crop Image with a friendIt runs in any browser, and they can try it without signing up.
