Crop an image in your browser
Free, private, in-browser image cropping — nothing leaves your device. Drag across the preview to choose exactly what to keep, then download the cropped image.
How cropping works here
Drag a selection box over the part you want to keep, or choose a fixed aspect ratio, and the tool outputs just that region as a new image. The crop keeps the original pixels inside the selection, so there's no quality loss, and nothing is uploaded — it all happens on your device.
When to crop an image
- Fit a shape: make a square avatar, a wide banner, or a portrait post.
- Remove clutter: trim distracting edges and tighten the framing.
- Focus attention: zoom in on the subject that matters.
- Platform sizes: match the dimensions a social network or store expects.
Common aspect ratios
A few ratios cover most needs: 1:1 (square) for avatars and Instagram, 16:9 for video thumbnails and slides, 4:5 for portrait social posts, and 3:2 for standard photos. Cropping to a set ratio up front saves you from a platform re-cropping your image in a way you didn't intend. If you're unsure which to use, a square 1:1 crop is the safest all-purpose choice, since almost every platform and profile accepts it without further adjustment.
Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Cropping happens entirely in your browser, so your images never leave your device.
Does cropping lower the resolution?
No. Cropping keeps the original pixels within the selected area — you simply end up with a smaller region at full quality.
Can I crop to exact dimensions?
Yes. Choose a fixed ratio or set specific dimensions to match what you need.
Which formats are supported?
Common image formats including JPG, PNG, and WebP.
Is there a size limit?
No fixed cap — larger images just use more of your device's memory.
