Crop an image

Drop your photo, choose an aspect ratio, and drag or zoom to frame exactly the part you want. The crop exports at the resolution actually visible in the frame, so you never get a blurry, artificially enlarged result.

How it works

Drop your image

Any common format.

Choose an aspect ratio

Or keep the image's own proportions.

Drag, zoom and download

The crop downloads at its natural resolution.

Frame exactly the part you want

Cropping is about choosing what stays and what goes: cutting out a distracting edge, focusing on one part of a wider photo, or reshaping an image to fit a particular ratio. Drop your photo, pick a ratio, and drag the image around within the frame — or scroll and pinch to zoom in closer — until it shows exactly what you want.

Common aspect ratios

Square (1:1) for a profile picture or a social media grid, 16:9 or 9:16 for widescreen or vertical video thumbnails, 4:3 and 3:2 for classic photo proportions, or simply keep the image's original shape and crop within it freely. Switching between ratios recalculates the frame instantly, so it's easy to compare a few before settling on one.

No blurry upscaling

The downloaded crop is rendered at the resolution actually visible inside the frame at your current zoom level, not stretched up to some fixed size. Zoom in a lot and the exported image will be smaller in pixels, reflecting the real detail available — an honest crop rather than a soft, artificially enlarged one, the same trade-off you'd get cropping in any photo editor.

Touch and mouse both work

The same drag-and-zoom controls respond to a mouse, a trackpad scroll, or a finger on a touchscreen, including two-finger pinch to zoom, so framing a crop feels the same whether you're on a phone or a computer.

Privacy

Your photo is cropped entirely in your browser. Nothing is ever uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop a photo to a square?
Drop your photo, choose the 1:1 ratio chip, then drag or zoom until the square frame shows what you want, and download.
What resolution is the cropped image?
The resolution actually visible in the frame at your current zoom — it isn't artificially stretched to a fixed size, so more zoom means a smaller but sharp result.
Can I crop without a fixed aspect ratio?
Choose "Original" to crop freely within your photo's own proportions; for a specific shape, pick one of the ratio presets.
Can I reposition the crop after zooming in?
Yes, drag anywhere on the preview to move the image around within the frame at any zoom level.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No extra compression is applied beyond the format you choose; the crop itself is a direct, high-quality redraw of the visible area.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens entirely in your browser.
