Crop Image

What is the Image Cropper?

The image cropper trims a photo down to exactly the part you want, at the aspect ratio you need. Drag the crop box over your image, choose a ratio, and download the result. The whole thing happens in your browser on an HTML canvas, so the picture is never uploaded to a server.

You can crop freely or lock to a preset ratio - 1:1 for avatars and social posts, 16:9 for video thumbnails and slides, plus 5:4, 4:3, 3:2, 1.85:1 and 2.35:1 for print and cinematic framing.

How to use the image cropper

• 1. Upload an image by dragging it in or clicking to browse.
• 2. Pick a ratio (or Free) and drag the crop box to frame your shot.
• 3. Download the cropped image.

Common uses

Squaring a photo for a profile picture, framing a 16:9 thumbnail for a video, cutting out a distracting edge, or trimming product shots to a consistent ratio for a store. Fixed ratios keep a set of images uniform without you eyeballing the dimensions each time.

Cropping before you upload also trims the file size, since you are not carrying pixels you will never show. And because the crop runs locally, you can work through a batch of private photos without any of them leaving your computer.
