What this tool does
This tool crops an image to the area you choose. You drag a rectangle directly on the picture, move it into place, resize it from the corners, and optionally lock it to a standard aspect ratio such as 1:1, 4:3 or 16:9.
Only the selected area is kept — everything outside is discarded — and the crop is saved at full resolution.
How to use it
- Choose an image (up to 15 MB).
- Optionally pick an aspect ratio: Free, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 or 16:9.
- Drag on the image to draw the crop area. Drag inside it to move, drag a corner handle to resize.
- Press “Apply crop” to process.
- Preview the cropped result and download, or reset to choose a different area.
Supported formats
- JPG / JPEG
- PNG
- WebP
- GIF (first frame)
- BMP
Limitations
- The crop keeps the source pixels at full resolution; it does not resize the output. Use the Image Resizer afterwards if you need exact dimensions.
- On small screens the preview is scaled down for editing, but the crop is always applied to the original image.
- Animated GIFs are cropped using their first frame only.
Frequently asked questions
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No. The selected area is saved with its original pixels untouched — the output is simply the region you selected, at full resolution.
How do I crop a square profile picture?
Choose the 1:1 aspect ratio, drag the square over the part of the photo you want, and apply the crop.
Can I undo a crop?
Press Reset and start again — the original file is still in your browser until you close or replace it. Nothing was uploaded, so there is nothing stored anywhere else.
