Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
Load one image, move or resize the rectangular crop frame, and export the selected pixels as a new image. You can drag the frame or edit its X and Y position and width and height in pixels. The initial selection is centered and covers most of the image, so adjust it before downloading if you need a different composition.
The upload control accepts common raster formats including PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and AVIF, with a 1 MiB per-file limit. The crop presets lock the frame to Free, 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, or 3:4. These ratios describe the crop shape; they are not guarantees about a social platform’s current recommended image dimensions.
Keep original uses the uploaded filename extension and source MIME type where available. You can instead export PNG, JPG, or WebP. PNG is useful when retaining transparency matters. JPG output fills transparent regions with white and uses lossy compression; WebP or JPG export can also change image encoding and quality. Browser support and encoding behavior can affect the resulting file.
Cropping selects part of the source image. It cannot restore detail outside the selected region or create new source pixels. The output dimensions are the crop frame’s pixel width and height; no separate resize control is provided.
A square 1:1 selection can frame a centered avatar, while a 16:9 selection can create a wide crop from a larger photo. Portrait ratios such as 9:16 or 3:4 keep a taller frame. Move the selection to keep the subject inside it, and check the output before using it in a layout that requires exact pixel dimensions.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Choose or drop an image within the 1 MiB limit. If you want another source, use Replace image after the current one loads.
Drag the frame to reposition it and drag an edge or corner to change its size. Select Free for an unconstrained shape or choose one of the listed aspect ratios.
Edit X and Y to position the crop from the image’s upper-left corner, then set width and height. The values are constrained to stay inside the source image; a locked ratio recalculates height from width.
Keep original, PNG, JPG, or WebP, then select Crop & download. Open the saved file to confirm framing, transparency, and output dimensions.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
Use a free crop to remove irrelevant edges from a small screenshot, then export in a format appropriate for the document or message.
Choose 1:1 to create a square composition. Check the destination’s own size and format requirements before uploading.
Use 16:9 or 9:16 as a composition guide for a banner-like or vertical crop, then adjust the subject within the frame.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
No. It constrains the crop rectangle’s shape. The tool does not provide an independent resize setting or verify current platform specifications.
No. JPG does not carry transparent pixels here; transparent parts are filled white. Select PNG when preserving transparent areas is important.
The export is made from the loaded image as a canvas image, not as an animation-preserving GIF workflow. Do not rely on this cropper to retain animation.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
Only one file can be selected at a time, and the upload zone sets a 1 MiB limit. Format conversion can affect transparency, compression, metadata, or animation. Review the downloaded image before publishing or replacing an original. Aspect ratio presets are generic crop shapes, not verified current requirements for any specific service.
