Crop photos with the right framing

Keep what matters

Remove extra background, cut a screenshot down to one section, or give a portrait a tighter composition. Move and resize the crop directly on the image.

Set the shape or size

Choose square, portrait, widescreen, or a custom ratio. Enter pixel dimensions and coordinates when the crop needs to be precise.

Check the actual result

Preview the cropped image before saving. Return to the original to change the selection, or choose PNG, JPG, or WebP for the result.

How to crop an image

Choose a photo or drop it into the image cropper.
Move the crop area and drag its handles, or enter the width, height, and position. Choose a preset or a custom ratio to keep the shape fixed.
Select Crop image and check the preview. Use Back to crop if you want to change the framing.
Choose JPG, PNG, or WebP and save your cropped image.

Crop a picture without stretching it

Cropping keeps the original pixels inside your selection and removes everything outside it. The photo stays in proportion. A square crop is useful for an avatar, while a wide crop can focus attention on a landscape or a website banner.

Precise pixel dimensions and position

Width and height describe the part of the original image you keep. X measures the distance from the left edge; Y measures the distance from the top. The crop always stays inside the image. The preview fits your screen while those pixel values stay the same.

Use ratios for social posts and print layouts

Ratio presets give you common square, portrait, and landscape shapes. They set proportions rather than enlarging the image to a platform's suggested resolution. Check the current requirements of the place where you will use the image, then use the displayed result dimensions to decide whether the crop is large enough.

Save a photo or a transparent graphic

JPG works well for photos. PNG keeps transparency and crisp graphic edges; WebP also supports transparent areas. JPG fills transparent areas with white. The saved image is newly encoded; its file size can change, and original metadata is removed. Animated inputs produce a still crop of the first frame.

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop an image online?

Choose an image, drag the crop area to the part you want to keep, and adjust its edges or corners. You can also enter its exact width, height, and position. Select Crop image to preview the result, then choose a format and download it.

How do I crop a photo to an exact size?

Enter the width and height in pixels. These values are measured on the original image, not the on-screen preview. Choose Freeform to set the two dimensions independently, or select an aspect ratio to keep them linked.

What is the difference between cropping and resizing?

Cropping removes the area outside your selection. A 600 × 400 selection produces a 600 × 400 image. Resizing changes the dimensions of the complete image. Use the image resizer when you want to keep the whole picture at a different size.

Can I crop a PNG and keep the transparent background?

Yes. Choose PNG or WebP for the cropped result to keep transparent areas. JPG uses a white background wherever the crop contains transparency.

Do the social and paper presets change the output dimensions?

The presets set the shape of the crop area. Your selected pixel width and height determine the output size. Check the destination website or print layout for its current dimensions before saving.

Can I adjust the crop after seeing the result?

Yes. Choose Back to crop to return to the original image with your current selection. Change image opens a new file, and Remove returns you to the empty picker.

What happens when I crop an animated image?

The tool creates a still image from the first frame of a GIF, animated PNG, or animated WebP. A notice appears beside the image. Save the selected frame as PNG, JPG, or WebP.

Are my pictures saved or uploaded?

Cropping and previewing take place in your browser. Your picture and selection remain available during the current visit; refreshing or reopening the page starts with an empty picker.
