Supports JPG, PNG, WEBP, and GIF
Paste (Ctrl/⌘+V) or drop an image — or import from a URL
Crop a photo to the exact area you want and export it at full resolution. Use a free crop for a quick trim, or lock a ratio like 1:1, 4:5, or 16:9 for profile pictures, product shots, and thumbnails. Cropping happens on your device, so transparency in PNGs is preserved and nothing leaves your computer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I crop an image to a perfect square?
Select the 1:1 ratio preset, drag the crop box over the part of the photo you want to keep, and download. The box stays perfectly square as you resize it, which is ideal for avatars and Instagram grid posts.
Can I crop to a specific aspect ratio like 16:9?
Yes. Choose from common presets such as 16:9, 4:3, 3:2, or 4:5, and the crop box is constrained to that exact ratio. This guarantees your image fits video frames, slides, or social layouts without distortion.
How do I crop a photo for a passport or profile picture?
Use the square (1:1) ratio and center the face inside the crop box, leaving a little headroom. Download the result, then resize it to the size your service requires — many ID photos use 600×600 pixels.
Does cropping reduce the resolution of the rest of the image?
No. Cropping only removes the area outside the box; the pixels you keep stay at their original resolution. The cropped region is exported exactly as sharp as it was in the source file.
Can I crop a PNG and keep the transparent background?
Yes. Transparency is fully preserved because the crop is done with the browser canvas and exported as PNG, so logos and cut-outs keep their see-through background after cropping.
