Crop image online free to trim borders, fix composition, or match aspect ratios. Drag a crop box, preview the result, and download—processing runs locally for standard browser-based cropping.

Cropping is non-destructive until you download—keep originals when you might need wider framing later.

Combine crop with resize when platforms specify both aspect ratio and pixel dimensions.

How to use this tool

Upload an image, drag the crop handles or pick an aspect ratio preset, preview, and download the cropped file.

Worked example

Example: crop a landscape photo to 1:1 square for an Instagram feed post without opening desktop editing software.

When to use this

Fixing horizon tilt and excess border in scans.
Matching social platform aspect ratios.
Removing sensitive content at photo edges.

Common examples

16:9 screenshot → 1:1 crop for Instagram feed post.
Passport-style headshot → tight face crop before resize to 600×600.
Map screenshot → crop to highlight a neighborhood before annotating.
Landscape vacation photo → 4:5 crop for Instagram feed.
Document scan with margins → crop to content before OCR or PDF merge.

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 on your device—files are not uploaded or stored. GIF output is saved as PNG.

Limitations

Results are based on the inputs you provide and may not cover every edge case. This tool is for general use and is not professional advice.

Privacy and file handling

Your data stays on your device and is not uploaded.

Use preset ratios on the tool page when available—1:1, 4:5, 16:9, etc.

Is cropping reversible?

After download, you cannot uncrop—retain the original file.

Does cropping reduce file size?

Often yes because fewer pixels are saved, especially when combined with compression.
