Drag the box over the part you want to keep — or type exact pixel values — and download just that. Presets snap the box to the shapes social platforms expect, and everything happens in your browser, so the photo never goes anywhere.
How to crop an image
- Add your image — a crop box appears over the preview.
- Choose a shape — Free for anything, or a preset (1:1 square, 9:16 story, 16:9 YouTube, 4:3 photo) that locks the ratio.
- Position it — drag the box to move, drag the handles to resize; the darker area is what gets removed. Prefer precision? Type X, Y, width, and height directly.
- Click Crop image and download the result.
The crop-first workflow
Framing beats scaling: platforms will happily squash a mis-shaped image into their slot, and the result looks exactly as bad as you’d expect. Crop to the right shape first, then resize to the exact pixels if a form demands them, and finally compress if there’s a file-size cap. Three quick steps, and each tool hands off cleanly to the next.
More than social media
Cropping is also the fastest redaction-by-exclusion: cut a screenshot down to the relevant window, trim a scanned page’s dark edges before it goes into a PDF, isolate one product from a cluttered photo, or turn a landscape group shot into individual portraits. Because the output contains only the pixels inside the box, whatever you cropped out is genuinely gone from the file.
Limits and tips
- Formats: JPG, PNG, and WebP in; output keeps your original format.
- The numbers never lie: the live “Output” readout shows the final pixel size — useful when a platform has minimums.
- Minimum crop is 10 × 10 pixels; the box can’t leave the image, so coordinates are always valid.
- Size cap: 50 MB per image.
Private by design
The crop is computed in a Web Worker on your device. There is no upload endpoint — close the tab and nothing remains.
