The practical guide

Keep the part of the image that matters.

Crop a photo with touch, trackpad, pen, or mouse controls while preserving its input format and keeping it on your device.

01

Cropping is not resizing

Cropping removes pixels outside a selected frame to change composition or aspect ratio. Resizing keeps the whole image but changes its pixel dimensions. Use a crop to remove distractions or fit a shape; use the resizer when the full frame must remain visible.

02

Freeform, 1:1, and classic photo ratios

Free mode lets you draw any shape. A 1:1 square works well for avatars and grid thumbnails, 4:3 suits many screens and cameras, and 3:2 matches a common photo-print proportion.

03

Landscape and portrait framing

Use 16:9 for wide banners, presentations, and video thumbnails, or 9:16 for vertical stories and phone-first layouts. Every preset starts centered and stays fully inside the source image.

04

Direct controls and exact output

Drag the selection to reposition it and use the four handles to resize. The displayed crop dimensions come from the original pixels, so the output width and height are known before you create the crop.

05

Format and quality

JPEG, PNG, and WebP outputs retain the source format. JPEG and WebP quality can be tuned; PNG stays lossless. Cropping does not modify the original file and all pixel processing remains in this page.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Can I crop on a phone?

Yes. The crop selection and handles use pointer events that work with touch, pen, trackpad, and mouse input.

Which ratio should I use for a square profile image?

Choose 1:1. It keeps the output square, and you can drag the frame to center the subject before creating the crop.

Does cropping reduce quality?

The pixel crop itself is exact. JPEG and WebP must be re-encoded, so use the quality control to choose the tradeoff; PNG stays lossless.

Is the original changed or uploaded?

No. Your original file is only read locally. The crop is a new download created in this browser tab.
