What this image cropper does

Image Cropper lets you select the part of an image you want and export only that region. Drag on the preview to create a crop box, move it to reposition, and resize it from any corner. Aspect-ratio presets keep the selection square, widescreen or portrait while you adjust it.

The pixel dimensions of the selection are shown as you drag, so you can hit an exact target such as 1080 × 1080 for social media. Cropping uses the original image resolution rather than the preview size, so the output stays sharp.

Why use it

  • Make a square profile picture from a rectangular photo.
  • Remove distractions or sensitive content from a screenshot.
  • Produce consistent 16:9 thumbnails for a video library.

How to use it

  1. 1Load an image.
  2. 2Choose a free or fixed aspect ratio.
  3. 3Drag inside the image to define the crop, then adjust the edges.
  4. 4Download the cropped image in your preferred format.

Common mistakes

  • Cropping a low-resolution source and then enlarging the result.
  • Forgetting to check which part of the image will be cut off on mobile previews.
  • Exporting a cropped transparent image as JPEG and losing the transparent background.

Frequently asked questions

Does cropping reduce quality?
Crop does not resample the image, so the selected pixels are exported at full quality. If you then resize, normal resampling applies.
Can I undo a crop?
Yes, before exporting. The original file on your device is never modified, so you can reload it at any time.
What formats can I export?
JPEG, PNG and WebP, depending on browser support for encoding.
