How to crop a photo

  • 1. Add an image.
  • 2. Drag inside the box to move it, or drag a corner to resize. Pick a ratio preset (like 1:1 for a square) if you need a specific shape.
  • 3. Click download — the crop is taken from the full-resolution original.

Want a round avatar instead of a rectangle? Use the circle crop tool. Need to change the overall size afterwards? Try the image resizer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I crop to a square for Instagram?

Yes — click the 1:1 preset for a centered square, then drag to position it, and download.

Is the crop done at full resolution?

Yes. The on-screen box is just a guide; the download is cropped from the original full-resolution image.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Cropping runs in your browser; the image never leaves your device.

How this tool helps

An image often contains extra background or needs a specific framing for a post, card, or thumbnail. Use the ratio presets when the destination requires 1:1, 4:3, or 16:9; use free crop for a custom frame.

How to use it

  1. Add an image.
  2. Drag the crop box and choose a ratio when needed.
  3. Review the framing and download the crop.

Example

Crop a landscape photo to 16:9 for a video thumbnail without changing the original file.

What you get

The output contains only the selected region and is downloaded as a new image.

Good to know

Limitations: Cropping removes pixels outside the box. Start with the largest source image available for the best result.
