- 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
- Add an image.
- Drag the crop box and choose a ratio when needed.
- 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.
