Example

Input: An 800 x 600 PNG with the Aspect Ratio preset 1:1 (Square)

Result: Crop: 600 x 600 px (from 100, 0) - a centered square; Crop Image produces a 600 x 600 PNG

The preset fits the largest square inside the image (limited by the 600 px height) and centers it: (800 - 600) / 2 = 100 px from the left.

  1. Upload an image file to load it into the visual cropping canvas.
  2. Drag the crop handles to select the area you want to keep.
  3. Use the aspect ratio presets (free, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9) to constrain the crop region.
  4. Drag inside the crop box to move it, using the live pixel size readout to fine-tune the selection.
  5. Choose PNG, JPEG, or WebP output, click Crop Image, then preview and download the cropped image.

Cropping an Image to the Right Shape

The Image Cropper cuts away the parts of a picture you do not want. Drag the handles to frame the area to keep, pick a preset ratio if you need a fixed shape, and download the cropped image.

Presets lock the shape of the crop box: 1:1 for profile pictures and square posts, 16:9 and 9:16 for video thumbnails and stories, 4:3 and 3:4 for presentations, and 3:2 and 2:3 for prints. Free mode lets you drag any rectangle. The area outside the box is dimmed. While you drag, a readout shows the crop size and the position of its top-left corner in pixels of the original image, so you can hit an exact size. Drag inside the box to move it. The smallest crop is 20 pixels.

Cropping keeps the original resolution. The pixels inside the box are copied as they are, not scaled. A crop of 1,000 x 1,000 pixels from a large photo stays 1,000 x 1,000. PNG output, the default, is lossless. JPEG and WebP are saved at 92% quality for smaller files. JPEG has no transparency, so transparent areas become white.

Images up to 20 MB are cropped in your browser, and the file is never uploaded. If you need an exact output size, such as 1080 x 1080, crop to the right ratio first and then scale it with the Image Resizer. For round profile pictures, Circle Crop gives a transparent circle instead of a square.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choose the 1:1 preset. The crop box becomes square and keeps that shape while you drag the handles. Move it over your subject and click Crop Image. For a set size such as 400 x 400, crop square first, then scale the result with the Image Resizer.
No, the crop box is set by dragging. The readout shows the width, height and top-left position in original image pixels as you drag, so you can adjust until the numbers match your target. Choosing a preset ratio makes it easier to land on sizes like 1920 x 1080.
Not with PNG output, which is the default and lossless. The pixels inside the crop are copied exactly, at full resolution. JPEG and WebP are saved at 92% quality, which is visually very close but adds a little compression. Choose them when a smaller file matters more than perfect fidelity.
It depends on the platform and it changes over time, so check its current guidelines. Common shapes are 1:1 for square posts and profile pictures, 9:16 for stories and short vertical video, and 16:9 for video thumbnails and link previews. The presets cover all of these.
