Crop Like You Mean It
Cropping is the fastest edit that improves a photo: cut distractions, straighten the subject onto a rule-of-thirds line, or force the exact ratio a platform demands. This cropper keeps it honest — the pixels you keep are copied 1:1 from the original (no silent resizing), the live readout shows the exact output dimensions, and PNG stays lossless with transparency intact.
Need a specific file size afterwards? Run the crop through the Image Compressor. Need exact pixel dimensions rather than a ratio? Use the Image Resizer. And before sharing photos publicly, consider the Metadata Remover to strip GPS location data.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I crop an image online for free?
Choose or drop a photo, drag the crop box or its corner handles, pick a preset ratio if needed, and press Download. No account, watermark or upload.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No — the image is cropped entirely in your browser with the canvas API. It never leaves your device and even works offline once the page has loaded.
Which aspect ratio should I use for social media?
Instagram feed 1:1 or 4:5; Stories/Reels/TikTok 9:16; YouTube thumbnails 16:9; X/Twitter 16:9; LinkedIn cards 1.91:1; profile pictures square. The table above has exact pixel targets.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
The kept pixels are copied 1:1 — never resampled. PNG downloads are pixel-perfect; JPG/WebP are re-encoded at 92% quality, visually indistinguishable in normal use.
What image formats are supported?
JPG, PNG and WebP, up to 30 MB / 20 megapixels. Downloads keep the original format — PNG retains transparency.
