Crop an image
Drag a selection, lock an aspect ratio, and download the result. Runs entirely in your browser.
What the cropper does
- Everything runs in your browser — the image is decoded, cropped, and re-encoded locally, so nothing is uploaded to us at all.
- Lock the selection to 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, or their portrait equivalents for avatars, thumbnails, and banners.
- Rotate in 90° steps or flip horizontally before cropping — handy for photos that came out sideways.
- Save the result as PNG for a lossless copy, or JPG/WebP with a quality slider when file size matters.
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded when I crop it?+
No. The cropper is pure client-side JavaScript — your file is read into the page, drawn onto a canvas, and exported back to a download. It never touches our servers, so there is nothing for us to store or delete.
Does cropping reduce quality?+
Cropping itself only discards the pixels outside the selection. Saving as PNG is lossless; JPG and WebP re-encode the result, so a quality of 90 or above is a good idea if the image will be edited again later.
Can I crop an animated GIF or WebP?+
You can crop one, but the result is a still image — the browser canvas only sees the first frame. Convert the animation instead if you need to keep the motion.
What size will the cropped image be?+
Exactly the pixel dimensions shown above the controls. The selection is measured in the source image's own pixels, so cropping never upscales or resamples what you keep.
