You can also rotate, flip, and make a circular crop with a transparent background.

How to use it

  1. Choose one or more images.
  2. Pick a ratio and drag the frame, or type the size in pixels.
  3. Click “Crop images” and download.

Tips for better crops

  • Use the rule of thirds: place eyes or the product on an intersection, not dead centre.
  • Leave a little space around the product so it doesn't touch the edge.
  • Cropping reduces pixels. If the result is small, enlarge it with AI image upscaler.

Privacy and security

“Crop image” runs entirely in your browser: your images and files are never uploaded and no copy is kept. Free, with no sign-up.

Tip: Zoom in (Ctrl + mouse wheel) to set crop edges with pixel precision.

Frequently asked questions

Does cropping reduce quality?

No, the area is kept at its original resolution.

How do I crop a circle?

Choose the “Circle” shape — the result is saved as a transparent PNG.

What ratio suits a profile picture?

1:1 — with the circle shape you get a profile photo with a transparent background straight away.

Why is the image small after cropping?

Cropping keeps only part of the pixels. Start from the largest version you have, or enlarge it afterwards with the upscaler.
