How It Works
2. Position the Crop Box
Drag the box to move it, or drag a corner handle to resize. Pick a fixed aspect ratio to keep proportions locked.
3. Download the Cropped Image
Download only the selected area as a new file — the rest of the original image is discarded.
Why Use It
FAQ
How do I crop an image to a square?
Select the 1:1 aspect ratio option, then drag the crop box or its corner handles over the part of the image you want to keep before downloading.
Can I crop an image to a custom shape or ratio?
Yes. Choose "Free" aspect ratio to resize the crop box to any width and height combination, independent of any fixed ratio.
What aspect ratio should I use for a YouTube thumbnail?
YouTube thumbnails use a 16:9 aspect ratio at 1280×720px. Select the 16:9 preset, position the crop box, then use the resize tool afterward if you need the exact pixel size.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
Cropping only removes pixels outside the selected area; it doesn't compress or resample the pixels you keep, so there's no quality loss to the remaining image.

Frame the part of the photo that matters
Cropping is often the single most effective edit you can make to a photo. Removing distracting background, straightening a composition, or focusing attention on a subject usually matters more than any color or filter adjustment. It's also essential whenever a specific aspect ratio is required, such as a square product thumbnail, a 16:9 video cover, or a 4:3 print.
This crop tool gives you a visual, draggable crop box directly over your image, with both free-form cropping and locked presets for the most common ratios. Corner handles let you fine-tune the selection precisely, and the exact output dimensions are shown as you adjust it, so you always know what you're about to export.
Since cropping only keeps the pixels inside your selection, there's no quality loss to worry about — the remaining image is exported at its original resolution unless you resize it afterward.
