What this tool does

The image cropper removes unwanted areas from any photo or image — JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF. Drag the crop handles to select the area to keep; the selection size is shown in pixels as you drag. For an exact output size in pixels, crop first and then use Resize Image. Common aspect ratios (1:1, 4:5, 16:9) are available as presets. Cropping runs entirely in your browser — your image is never sent to any server. Use it to crop to square for Instagram, remove borders from scans, create thumbnails, or extract a specific region from a screenshot.

Yes. Choose from Free Form, Square (1:1), Portrait (4:5), 16:9, 4:3, 3:2, 9:16, 2:3, and 21:9. Selecting an aspect ratio constrains your crop selection to that proportion.
The tool supports JPG, PNG, and WebP images for uploading. PNG images are saved as PNG (transparency is kept), JPEG images are saved as JPEG with your chosen quality setting, and other formats such as WebP are saved as JPEG.
Cropping only removes parts of the image — the remaining area maintains its original quality. The quality slider lets you control JPEG compression for the output file.
