Crop Image

This tool crops by aspect ratio rather than by free pixel selection. You choose one of six presets: 1:1 square, 4:5 portrait, 9:16 story, 16:9 landscape, 4:3 classic, or 21:9 wide. The crop is center-anchored, so it keeps the largest centered region that fits the ratio you picked and trims the excess from the two long edges.

Because the crop centers on the middle of the frame, it works best when your subject is roughly centered. A 1:1 square taken from a wide landscape will drop the left and right edges; a 9:16 story crop from a horizontal photo will keep only the central vertical strip. If your subject sits near a corner, reframe or recompose the shot before cropping, since you cannot nudge the crop box off-center here.

The live preview shows exactly which part of the image survives each ratio before you commit. Switch between presets to compare framings, then run Crop Image when the preview matches what you want.

You can export the cropped result as JPG, PNG, or WebP. When you load a file the output format auto-matches your input, so a PNG defaults to PNG and a WebP defaults to WebP, but you can override this with the format buttons. Choose JPG for photos where small file size matters, PNG when you need lossless edges or transparency, and WebP for a smaller file at comparable quality.

Encoding quality is fixed at 0.92 and is not exposed as a slider. That is a high setting that preserves visible detail while still compressing JPG and WebP output sensibly. If you specifically need a smaller file after cropping, run the result through a dedicated compression step rather than expecting a quality control on this page.

The download panel reports both the original and the output file size so you can see the effect of the crop and the chosen format at a glance before saving.

Cropping happens entirely inside your browser. The image is decoded and redrawn onto a canvas locally, and the result is generated on your own device, so the file is never uploaded to a server. That makes the tool suitable for scans, ID images, or anything you would rather not send over a network.

Keep one thing in mind: cropping discards pixels permanently. The trimmed edges cannot be recovered from the exported file, so hold on to your original if you might need a different framing later. The tool accepts one image at a time through the JPG, PNG, or WebP picker.

If you load an animated GIF elsewhere in the suite, note that only the first frame is exported as a still; for crop work, supply a standard JPG, PNG, or WebP. After downloading, use Reset to clear the current image and start fresh with another file.
