Crop Image

  • Browser-based
  • No signup
  • Stays on your device
  • Your file is processed in your browser and is not uploaded to our servers.

Upload a JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF and crop it with an on-image selection or pixel inputs. Lock common aspect ratios, choose an output format, and download the result. Processing runs in your browser—files are not uploaded to a server.

Cropping removes pixels outside the selection—those pixels cannot be recovered later unless you keep the original file. Use aspect-ratio locks when preparing assets for Instagram, YouTube thumbnails, or passport-style photos.

Crop before compressing when both operations are needed; cropping reduces pixel count, which often saves more bytes than quality reduction alone.

Passport and ID crops should leave enough headroom above the hairline—check the target country's photo rules before submitting.

Rule-of-thirds guides help when cropping hero images for blog cards—place the subject slightly off center so text overlays have breathing room.

Non-destructive editors keep crop metadata separate from the master file—export a new JPEG when you need a fixed crop for upload.

How it works

Upload a JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF, then set the crop area with the on-image handles or pixel inputs. Optional aspect-ratio presets keep the selection proportional. Cropping runs in your browser with the Canvas API—files are not uploaded to a server. GIF output is saved as PNG.

Frequently asked questions

Which image formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF. Cropped GIFs are saved as PNG because browsers export a single frame.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Cropping runs entirely in your browser. Files are not uploaded or stored by Utilnivo.

How do I set the crop area?

Drag the selection on the preview, resize it from the corners, or enter X, Y, width, and height in pixels. Aspect-ratio presets keep the selection proportional.
