How to use the crop image
Cut away what you don't need and fit your picture to the shape you need: a free crop, a fixed aspect ratio for screens and prints, or a circle for profile pictures. Cropping happens in your browser.
- Drop your image into the box, or tap to choose one.
- Pick Free, a ratio such as 16:9 or 4:3, or Circle.
- Drag the crop box to frame the part you want to keep.
- Apply the crop and download.
Tips for better results
- Crop before you resize. Cropping first keeps more of the detail you actually want in the final image.
- Leave a little space around the subject. Many apps crop thumbnails again, so a tight crop can lose heads or product edges.
- For profile pictures, centre the face in a circle crop. Most platforms show avatars as circles anyway.
- If an image is too small after cropping, use the Image Upscaler to enlarge it to the size you need.

Frequently asked questions
Does cropping lower image quality?
No. Cropping only removes pixels outside the box. The result is saved as a PNG, which keeps every remaining pixel exactly.
How do I crop to a circle?
Choose Circle. The area outside the circle becomes transparent in the downloaded image.
Which aspect ratio should I use?
16:9 suits YouTube, slides and widescreens. 4:3 suits older screens and many tablets. 3:2 and 2:3 match common photo prints.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Cropping runs in your browser.
Can I then resize the cropped image?
Yes. Open the Resize Image tool to set exact pixel dimensions.
What size is the cropped image?
It keeps the original pixels inside your crop box, so the size depends on how large a box you draw. Use Resize Image afterwards to set an exact size.
