Crop Image

A free image cropper that runs in your browser. Your photo opens with a crop frame already on it. Move it, size it, pull the photo to fit inside it, done.

How to crop an image

1
Drop your image
Drag it in or click to browse. JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and more, at any size.
2
Set the crop
Your photo opens with a crop frame already on it. Move it, resize it, drag the photo's own corners to scale it inside the frame, or pick a ratio and read the exact pixels off the frame.

The file saves straight to your machine. What you kept is untouched, at full resolution.

What happens to your pixels

6000 × 4000

2400 × 2400
Nothing is resampled
The pixels you keep are the pixels you had. A crop from a 6000px photo is still 6000px sharp.

800 × 800
The file gets smaller, not worse
An 800px crop is an 800px file. Nothing in it changed, there is simply less of it. If you need it bigger later, something has to scale it up, so crop generously when you are not sure.

Sharper on screen than it really is
Every photo is shrunk to fit your screen. Crop in and you see it at full size for the first time, which is why a tight crop can look soft. Nothing was lost.
Crop at the size you need. 500 × 500 covers every profile picture except YouTube, which wants 800 × 800.
Cropping decides what is in the picture. Resizing decides how big it is. If you need a smaller file rather than a different frame, that is a resize.

What people crop for

A profile picture. An Instagram post or story. A Facebook cover. A YouTube thumbnail. A presentation slide. A photo for a print or a photobook, where every pixel you kept still counts.

Not just a rectangle

Crop to a circle, a square, an ellipse or a star, a heart, a hexagon — any shape from the shelf. Each one comes out as a transparent PNG, with no background to remove afterwards.

Questions

Is it free?+
Yes. No account, no watermark, no payment, no trial. Crop and download.
Will cropping reduce the quality?+
No. The pixels you keep are the pixels you had, and nothing is stretched or merged. The file is smaller because there are fewer pixels in it, not because anything was degraded.
What formats can I crop?+
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and anything else your browser can open. There is no size limit and no resolution limit.
Does it work on a phone?+
Yes. Drop or choose a photo the same way and the frame works by touch.
Can I crop to a circle?+
Yes, in Compix. Circle, square, ellipse, star, heart, hexagon — the shapes on the shelf — each exported as a transparent PNG with no background to remove.
Can I crop to an exact size?+
Pick a ratio and drag the frame; the readout on the frame shows the exact pixels you keep, so you can hit the size you need.
Can I undo?+
Yes. Reset the frame at any point before you download. Your original file is never modified, so nothing here can damage it.
What is a crop pic?+
A picture with the outside trimmed away. You keep the part you want and the rest is discarded. The pixels you keep are untouched.
Are my images really not uploaded?+
Yes. Everything runs in this browser tab on your own machine. Nothing is sent to a server, which is why there is no file size limit and nothing to delete afterwards.
