Precise cropping on any screen

  • Standard aspect ratios

    1:1 for profile pictures and posts, 4:3 and 3:2 for prints and photos, 16:9 for videos, slides and banners — in landscape or portrait.

  • Made for touch

    Large corner handles work with a finger on phones and tablets, and the page doesn’t scroll while you drag.

  • Pixel-exact when needed

    Every drag updates the X, Y, width and height fields, and typing a value moves the crop box — useful when a site asks for an exact size.

People often crop photos to remove something private. Cropping happens in your browser, so the full photo is never uploaded to our server.

Image cropping FAQ

How do I crop an image to a square?

Choose the “1:1 Square” ratio. The crop box becomes the largest square that fits your image; drag it to the part you want and resize it from the corners.

What aspect ratio should I use?

Use 1:1 for profile photos and many social posts, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails, presentations and website banners, 4:3 for tablets and older cameras, and 3:2 for prints such as 4×6 inch photos.

Can I crop to an exact pixel size?

Yes. Type the X and Y position and the width and height in pixels. To get a specific final size, such as 1200 × 630, you can crop to the right ratio first and then use the Image Resizer.

Does cropping reduce image quality?

Cropping only removes pixels outside the box; the rest are not scaled. JPG and WebP are saved at high quality, and PNG stays lossless.

Is my photo uploaded when I crop it?

No. The image is cropped by your browser on your device and never sent to our server.

Does cropping remove location data from photos?

Yes. The cropped image is created from the pixels only, so metadata such as GPS location and camera details from the original is not included.
