How to crop your image
Drop in an image, then drag inside the selection box to move it or drag a corner handle to resize. The live crop size in pixels updates as you go, so you always know the exact dimensions you'll get.
To match a specific shape, pick an aspect ratio chip — 1:1 for profile pictures, 16:9 for thumbnails and video frames, 9:16 for stories and reels — and the box locks to those proportions while you resize. Choose Free to crop to any custom dimensions.
Cropping vs. resizing
Cropping removes pixels from the edges to change what the image shows and its shape; resizing keeps the whole image but scales it to different dimensions. They're often used together: crop to the right composition or aspect ratio first, then resize to the exact pixel size a platform requires.
Because cropping only discards the area outside your selection, the pixels you keep stay at full quality — there's no resampling or softening.
Frequently asked questions
Does this tool upload my image anywhere?
No. Cropping happens entirely in your browser on the HTML canvas — your image is never sent to a server, so it's instant and completely private.
Will cropping reduce the quality of the kept area?
No. Cropping simply discards the pixels outside your selection; everything inside stays at its original resolution and quality with no resampling.
Can I crop to an exact aspect ratio?
Yes. Pick a ratio chip (1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16) and the selection box locks to those proportions as you resize. Choose Free to crop to any custom shape.
What format do I get back?
The crop is saved in the same format you started with — a PNG stays a PNG, a JPG stays a JPG, a WebP stays a WebP. Use one of our converters if you also want to change the format.
