How to Use This Cropper

  • Upload an image, then choose an aspect ratio or keep it free.
  • Drag the blue selection box to frame your crop — the ratio locks its shape.
  • Click Crop, then download the result as PNG, JPG or WebP.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does cropping reduce image quality?

Cropping removes pixels but does not blur them. Exporting to PNG keeps maximum quality; JPG and WebP let you trade a little quality for smaller files.

Can I rotate the image first?

Not yet — for rotation, use any photo editor on your device, then crop here.

Why is my crop area fixed at a ratio?

When you select a preset ratio such as 16:9, the selection keeps that proportion so the output has exactly that shape. Choose "Free" to draw any rectangle.

Is my photo uploaded?

No — the crop runs entirely in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device.

Practical Example

Say your camera shot is 4000x3000 (a 4:3 photo) and you want a square 1:1 avatar. Pick the "1:1 (Square)" preset, drag the blue box over the part of the face you want to keep, then click Crop. The output is a 1:1 square at full source resolution — nothing is downscaled — ready to export as PNG or WebP.

  • A 4000x3000 photo cropped to a square keeps the pixels you select.
  • 16:9 suits video thumbnails and widescreen banners.
  • Use "Free" to draw any rectangular selection without a fixed shape.

What Your Results Mean

  • Cropped dimensions — the pixel size of the output, equal to your selection mapped back to the full source resolution; a smaller selection means a smaller file.
  • Output format — PNG preserves every pixel, while JPG and WebP compress the result and may slightly soften sharp edges at lower quality.
  • Aspect ratio — the locked proportion (1:1, 4:3, 16:9) matches the preset you chose, so the result fits that frame exactly.
