Crop Image
Drag on the image to draw a crop, move the selection, or resize it with the handles.
Ratio buttons reset the selection. Dragging any handle creates a custom crop.

Crop an Image to Keep the Part You Need
Use the crop image tool to remove unwanted edges, bring attention to the main subject, or change the composition of a photo. Draw a rectangle directly on the preview, move it into position, and adjust any edge or corner before creating the final crop.
This workflow covers the main crop image online, image cropper, crop photo, and picture cropper intent without hiding the result behind a registration step. The selected output dimensions are shown before processing, and the completed image is available to preview before download.
Crop Photos to Square, Portrait, or Landscape
A 1:1 crop creates a square starting selection for profile photos, product thumbnails, and other equal-width layouts. Use 4:3 or 3:2 for common photo shapes, 16:9 for a wide landscape crop, or 9:16 for a vertical image. Free crop lets you choose a custom rectangle when no preset fits.
The ratio buttons reset the selection to the chosen shape. You can move that selection over the subject, or drag its handles afterward when you need a custom crop rather than a locked ratio.
Crop First, Then Resize or Compress When Needed
Cropping and resizing solve different problems. Cropping removes content outside the selected rectangle. Resizing changes the pixel dimensions of the complete result. If a form needs a head-and-shoulders photo, crop away the extra background first. Then use Resize Image Dimensions when the form specifies width and height, or use the Image Compressor when it specifies a maximum KB size.
Crop JPG, PNG, WebP, and iPhone Photos
JPG is a practical output for ordinary photographs because it usually creates a smaller file. PNG is useful when the source includes transparency or sharp graphics, while WebP can provide a compact modern output. HEIC and HEIF photos are prepared locally before the crop is applied, which makes the workflow useful for recent iPhone images.
The final dimensions come from the selected rectangle. Cropping does not enlarge the selected area or invent detail. If you later need a larger or smaller version, download the crop and continue with the dimension resizer. This separation keeps each step understandable and avoids accidental stretching.
Crop Images Online Without Uploading Them

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I crop an image online?
Upload an image, drag on it to draw a crop box, move or resize the selection, choose an output format, and select Crop Image. Review the result and download it.
Can I crop an image to a square?
Yes. Choose the 1:1 ratio to reset the crop selection to a centered square. You can then move the square over the subject before cropping.
Can I crop JPG and PNG images online?
Yes. The image cropper accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and HEIF files. You can download the cropped result as JPG, PNG, or WebP.
Which crop ratios are available?
The tool provides free crop plus 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, and 9:16 starting selections. Dragging the handles lets you create a custom crop after choosing any preset.
Can I crop an HEIC photo?
Yes. HEIC and HEIF photos are prepared in your browser before cropping. The cropped result can be downloaded as JPG, PNG, or WebP.
Does cropping reduce image dimensions?
Yes. Cropping removes pixels outside the selected rectangle, so the output width and height normally become smaller. The tool shows the expected and final pixel dimensions.
Can I crop without changing image quality?
Cropping itself keeps the selected pixels at their original dimensions. The output still needs to be encoded in JPG, PNG, or WebP, so file size and compression can differ from the original.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Normal image preparation, crop selection, encoding, preview, and download generation happen locally in your browser.
Should I crop or resize first?
Crop first when you need to remove unwanted areas. Then use Resize Image Dimensions or Image Compressor if the final upload also requires a specific width, height, or KB limit.
