About Image Cropper

Image Cropper trims an image down to any rectangular region. Drop in a picture, drag the crop box across the image to choose the framing, and download the cropped output. The crop can be free-form or locked to a common aspect ratio (1:1 for an avatar, 16:9 for a banner, 4:3 for prints, 9:16 for a vertical video frame), with the rest of the image discarded.

Worked example: an Instagram square crop locks the selection to 1:1, lets you drag the box across the original photo to choose the best framing, and exports a square image at the original resolution of the selected area. A 16:9 banner, a 2:3 portrait, a 4:5 social post — pick the ratio, position the box by dragging it, type pixel-precise width and height into the inputs if you need exact dimensions, then download.

A few notes. The output retains the resolution of the selected area, so a 1080×1080 crop from inside a 4032×3024 source comes out at full 1080×1080 quality. The output file is always a PNG (lossless) regardless of the source — to switch to a smaller format afterwards, run the result through the image converter. There is no rotation here — this tool only crops. And once an image is cropped, the discarded pixels are gone from the output; keep the original file if you might want to recrop later.

All cropping runs locally in your browser. Personal photos and document scans never leave your machine.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — pick from the common ratios (1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16, 4:5, 2:3) and the width/height inputs stay constrained to that shape. Choose 'Free' for unconstrained cropping.
