Crop images online

Upload an image and drag the crop box, or choose 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2 or 2:3, then fine-tune with X, Y, width and height. Portrait photos from phones are turned upright first, so what you see is what you get. Ideal for avatars, covers and social media images.

How it works

  1. 1

    Choose an image

    Click or drop an image; the crop box starts out covering it all.

  2. 2

    Adjust the crop box

    Pick a ratio and drag the box or its corners, or type coordinates and size on the right. Both stay in sync.

  3. 3

    Crop and download

    Click Crop, check the result size, then download.

Features

  • Common ratios

    Free, original, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2 and 2:3. Once a ratio is chosen, the box keeps it while you resize.

  • Pixel precise

    Type X, Y, width and height directly; the numbers and the on-image box update each other.

  • Right way up

    Photos are turned upright using the orientation recorded by the camera before cropping, so portrait shots crop where you expect.

  • GIFs keep moving

    Cropped animated GIFs keep their animation, perfect for cutting out part of a GIF.

Stored temporarily, deleted after 2 hours

Your image is used only for this edit. Originals and results are deleted automatically after 2 hours and download links work only for you. Date taken, camera model and GPS location are removed by default.

FAQ

How do I crop an image to a square?
Choose 1:1. The crop box becomes a centered square; drag it where you want and click Crop.
Does cropping reduce quality?
Cropping itself leaves the kept pixels unchanged. JPG output is re-encoded at high quality; choose PNG in output settings for a lossless result.
Can I drag the crop box on my phone?
Yes, the box and its four corners all work with touch.
What if the crop box goes past the edge?
The part outside the image is cut off and only the area inside is kept. The result tells you when this happens.
