How to crop a photo online

The tool cuts out the area you need from a photo using a frame: a square for a profile picture, a vertical 9:16 for stories, or a wide 16:9 shot for a cover. You can drag the frame by hand or enter an exact size in pixels. Cropping happens in your browser, and the file isn't uploaded to a server.

How to use it

Click "Open image", drag a file into the window, or paste an image from the clipboard (Ctrl+V).

Choose an aspect ratio: "Freeform", "Original", 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, 2:3, 16:9 or 9:16.

Drag the frame from the middle to move it and from the corners to resize it. The rule-of-thirds grid helps with composition.

If you need an exact size, enter the width and height in pixels.

Choose a format and click "Crop and download".

Settings and tips

1:1 for profile pictures and feed posts, 9:16 for Stories, Reels and Shorts, 16:9 for video thumbnails and slides, 4:3 and 3:2 for classic photos.

Format: "Same as original" keeps the same file type. PNG is lossless; JPEG and WebP are smaller (saved at quality 95).

Transparent backgrounds are kept in PNG and WebP. In JPEG, transparent areas turn white.

The cropped file gets a "-crop" suffix added to its name, and the original stays unchanged.

Limitations

Images up to 60 megapixels.

There's no rotate or flip here. You can rotate an image in the GIF studio.

For animated GIFs, only the first frame is kept, as a PNG. To crop the whole GIF, open it in the GIF studio.

EXIF metadata is not carried over to the cropped file.

Privacy

Your photo never leaves your device: the browser does the cropping using Canvas. The site collects visit statistics: Cloudflare Web Analytics without cookies, while Yandex Metrica and Google Analytics load only if you've accepted cookies. Learn more in our privacy policy.

Next steps: compress the photo online to the size you need, crop a GIF while keeping the animation, or increase photo resolution if the image became too small after cropping.

Photo cropping FAQ

How do I crop a photo to a square for a profile picture?

Choose the 1:1 ratio, position the frame over the face, and click "Crop and download".

Will cropping reduce the quality?

Not if you save as PNG: the pixels inside the frame don't change. JPEG and WebP are saved at quality 95, and the difference isn't visible to the eye.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no watermarks.
