Crop an image to any size or aspect ratio.
Drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP — drag the corners to pick your crop, lock to a preset ratio if you need one (square, 16:9, Instagram portrait, phone vertical), and save the result. The original file never leaves your browser.
-
Stays on your device
The image is decoded into your browser's memory, cropped on a canvas, and the result blob lands in your downloads folder. No upload, no log, no third-party service. Open DevTools' Network tab while you crop — zero traffic carrying your image.
-
Full original resolution
The crop runs on the original image at its full pixel dimensions. What you see in the editor is a scaled preview, but the output uses 100% of the source pixels inside your crop region — no quality loss beyond the crop itself.
-
Aspect ratios that actually match
Lock to 1:1 (square), 16:9 (widescreen), 4:3, 3:2 (classic photo), 4:5 (Instagram portrait), or 9:16 (phone vertical / Stories). The drag handles stay constrained to your chosen ratio so the result is exact, not "close enough."
How it works
- 1
Drop your image
JPG, PNG, or WebP. (HEIC users: convert first with our HEIC converter.)
- 2
Pick your aspect ratio
"Free" lets the crop be any shape — useful when you just want to trim. Pick a locked ratio when the destination matters (a square for an avatar, 9:16 for Stories, etc.).
- 3
Drag the corners and the rectangle
The four corner handles resize the crop. Click and drag inside the rectangle to move it. The dimensions show below in real pixels so you know exactly what you'll get.
- 4
Save
The cropped image keeps the same format as the input (JPG stays JPG, etc.) and downloads instantly. Need a different format? Run the result through our image converters.
Frequently asked questions
Will the cropped image lose quality?
Not from the crop itself — we copy the source pixels inside your crop region 1:1 onto the output canvas. The only potential quality loss is the format's encoding, and for JPG/WebP we use a high quality setting (92%). PNG output is lossless.
Can I crop to a specific pixel size?
Not directly in v1. You can drag to approximately the size you want and watch the live dimensions readout, then either accept that (good enough for most uses) or follow up with the Image Resizer to set exact pixel dimensions. A "crop to exact dimensions" mode is on the list.
Does this work for HEIC photos from my iPhone?
Not directly — HEIC needs to be decoded first. Use our HEIC to JPG converter (or HEIC to PNG / HEIC to WebP) to convert first, then come back here to crop.
Will iPhone photos come out the right way up?
Yes. We read the image with EXIF orientation correction so the crop you see in the editor matches the final output — even for photos shot sideways or upside-down where the EXIF flag tells the browser to auto-rotate.
Is there a maximum image size?
No fixed cap from us — the limit is your device's memory. Modern phones and laptops handle 50-megapixel photos comfortably. If a very large image fails to load, your browser likely ran out of memory; close other tabs and try again.
Can I undo a drag?
Not in v1 — the crop region keeps whatever state the last drag left it in. If you make a mess, click an aspect ratio chip to reset the crop to a centered rectangle at that ratio, or pick "Free" and drag from scratch.
What's the rule-of-thirds grid inside the crop?
The faint vertical and horizontal lines dividing the crop into nine equal cells are the rule-of-thirds grid — a photography composition guide. Placing subjects along the lines or at the intersections tends to produce a more visually pleasing composition than dead- centering everything. It's a guide, not a rule. Use it or ignore it.
