Image cropper
Crop a picture by dragging on it, freely or to 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 or 16:9. Works in your browser without uploading.
Runs in your browser. Nothing you enter is uploaded.
What it does
Cut a picture down to the part you want, either freely or to a fixed shape such as a square for a profile photo or 9:16 for a status. The crop is made from the original pixels, so nothing is lost in the part you keep.
How to use it
- Choose a picture.
- Pick a shape, or leave it on free selection.
- Drag on the picture to mark the part to keep. The size of the selection is shown below it.
- Press Crop, then download.
Worked example
From a 4000 × 3000 photo, a 1:1 crop is at most 3000 × 3000. The tool starts with the largest centred selection for the shape you choose; drag to pick a different area.
How it works
The picture is shown scaled to fit the page, but the selection is tracked in the picture’s own pixels. Cropping copies exactly those pixels to a new picture at full resolution and saves it in the original format.
Questions
Is my file uploaded?
No. The file is opened by your browser on your own device and the result is made there. Nothing is sent to us or to anyone else.
Can I crop to an exact pixel size?
Crop to the right shape here, then set the exact dimensions with the image resizer.
Does cropping reduce quality?
The kept area has the same pixels as before. A JPG is saved again at high quality, which changes it very slightly.
Which shape for which place?
See the social media image size guide for the sizes the platforms publish.
