Cropping runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

How to Crop an Image

1

Add the image

The crop box starts covering most of the picture so there is always something to drag rather than an invisible starting point.

2

Set the crop

Drag inside the box to move it and drag a corner to resize. Pick a fixed ratio first if the result has to be square or 16:9, and the corners will hold that shape.

3

Check the numbers and download

The four fields are real pixel coordinates in the original image, not screen coordinates, so you can type an exact crop when you know what you want.

Frequently Asked Questions

The pixels you keep are the pixels you had, so nothing is scaled or blurred. A JPEG is re-encoded once when it is saved, which is a small quality cost. A PNG stays lossless.

1:1 for profile pictures and most social posts, 16:9 for video thumbnails and hero images, 4:3 for print and older screens, 9:16 for stories and short video. If the crop is for a specific place, check what that place expects before you start.

Yes. Type the numbers into the four fields rather than dragging. They are the real coordinates in the original file, so a 1080 by 1080 crop starting at 200, 340 is exactly that.

Because the preview is scaled to fit your screen while the numbers stay in original pixels. A 4000 pixel wide photo shown at 900 pixels is still cropped at full resolution.

Yes. The corners and the box respond to touch the same way they respond to a mouse. On a small screen it is easier to set the ratio first and then nudge the numbers.

Yes, and the transparency survives, because a PNG is saved back as a PNG. Only JPEG input is saved as JPEG.

Crop here first, then put the result through our image resizer. Doing it in that order means you choose the framing before you choose the final dimensions, which is usually what you want.

No. It is read and cropped inside your browser and never sent anywhere.
