Crop Image
Trim edges and reframe subjects so uploads match the aspect ratio and composition you need.
Files never leave your device

or click to browse — then draw a region on the preview
Platforms demand different shapes—square avatars, 16:9 headers, tall stories. This crop tool lets you drag a frame over an image and export only the region that matters, without a full photo editor.
Cropping is destructive to pixels outside the box, so work from a copy. Straighten and exposure fixes belong in other editors first; come here when composition is the remaining problem.
After cropping, compressors often shrink the file further because fewer pixels remain. Mosaic or blur tools help when the crop still shows sensitive content you must hide.
How to use
- Upload the image — Open a photo or graphic you want to reframe.
- Set the crop region — Drag handles to include the subject and exclude distractions.
- Lock an aspect ratio if needed — Match platform requirements (1:1, 4:5, 16:9) when the UI offers presets.
- Apply and preview — Confirm faces are not clipped and important text remains readable.
- Download the cropped file — Save the result, then compress if the destination has a size cap.
Use cases
- Profile photos — Center a face for LinkedIn, Slack, or game avatars.
- Marketplace thumbnails — Fill the frame with the product and cut busy backgrounds.
- Blog headers — Fit a wide banner ratio without letterboxing in CSS.
Tips
- Leave a little padding around faces—tight crops look cramped on circular masks.
- Crop after rotating/straightening so the frame aligns with true horizontals.
- Non-destructive editors are better for experimentation; this export is a final derivative.
- Sensitive data at the edges is easier to remove by crop than by blur alone.
FAQ
Use the on-screen region controls; exact pixel fields depend on the UI. Resize afterward if a portal demands fixed dimensions.
Cropping is designed to run in the browser on the file you select.
It primarily removes pixels. Run a compressor afterward for encoding gains.
Alpha outside the crop is discarded with those pixels; inside alpha remains when the format supports it.
Built for interactive framing one image at a time.
blur-image and mosaic-image for hiding details; compressors for size.
