Image Cropper
FreeCrop your images by selecting the area you want to keep. Drag, zoom, and choose aspect ratios.
Crop images directly in your browser by selecting the part of the image you want to keep. Drag and reposition the crop area, use free cropping, or choose a fixed aspect ratio such as 1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2 or 2:3.
Cropping removes unwanted areas from the edges of an image and changes its visible composition. It is useful when you need to focus attention on a subject, remove distracting space, or prepare an image for a specific shape or layout.
Cropping is different from resizing: cropping changes which part of the image remains, while resizing changes the width and height of the entire image.

How it works
Upload your photo
Upload a JPG/JPEG, PNG or WebP image from your device.
Select crop area
Drag and reposition the crop frame to keep the part of the image you want. Crop freely or choose a fixed aspect ratio.
Download cropped image
Apply the crop, review the result and download the cropped image.
Why use this tool?
Precise crop selection
Drag and reposition the crop area so you can choose exactly which part of the original image remains in the final result.
Fixed aspect ratios
Use preset ratios such as 1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2 or 2:3 when your image needs a consistent shape for a specific layout or platform.
Free crop when needed
Choose Free mode when you do not need a fixed ratio and want to define the crop area based only on the content you want to keep.
Adjust the framing
Reposition the selected area to improve composition, remove unwanted edges or place the main subject where you want it in the final image.
When Should You Crop an Image?
Remove unwanted edges
Crop away empty space, background distractions or unwanted objects near the edges when they do not contribute to the image.
Profile and square images
Use a 1:1 crop when a profile image, avatar, product thumbnail or other layout requires a square image.
Website and content layouts
Crop images to a consistent aspect ratio when a website, blog, banner or content block needs images with a predictable shape.
Improve image composition
Reframe a photograph by removing unnecessary space and positioning the main subject more clearly within the final image.
Understanding Cropping and Aspect Ratios
Cropping removes part of an image and keeps only the selected area. Unlike resizing, it does not simply scale the entire image to a different width and height.
The final cropped image uses the content inside the crop frame, so choosing the crop area affects both composition and output dimensions.
What is an aspect ratio?
An aspect ratio describes the relationship between an image's width and height.
For example:
1:1 creates a square shape.
16:9 creates a wide landscape shape.
4:3 is a common landscape proportion.
3:2 is common in photography.
2:3 is the portrait version of a 3:2 ratio.
A fixed aspect ratio controls the shape of the crop area, while Free mode lets you choose any proportion.
Cropping vs Resizing
Cropping removes part of an image.
Resizing changes the pixel dimensions of the entire image.
For example, cropping may turn a wide photograph into a square by removing the sides. Resizing would instead scale the whole image to new dimensions without intentionally removing those areas.
If you need both a particular composition and exact pixel dimensions, crop the image first and resize it afterward.
Choosing Free Crop or a Fixed Aspect Ratio
Free crop
Use Free mode when the final image does not need a specific shape. It gives you more flexibility to keep exactly the content you want.
1:1
Use 1:1 when you need a square result, such as some profile images, thumbnails or grid layouts.
16:9
Use 16:9 for wide layouts such as banners, video-style thumbnails or landscape content areas.
4:3
Use 4:3 for a more traditional landscape shape that works well for many photos and content layouts.
3:2 and 2:3
Use 3:2 for landscape photographs and 2:3 for portrait-oriented images when that proportion matches the intended layout.
Aspect-ratio presets control the shape of the crop area. They do not guarantee that a particular website or platform will accept the final image, because platforms may also require specific pixel dimensions or file-size limits.
Supported Image Formats
JPG / JPEG
Common for photographs and camera images. Crop JPG files when you want to remove unwanted areas or change the framing of a photo.
PNG
Common for screenshots, graphics and interface images. Cropping lets you keep only the relevant part of the image while continuing to work with PNG output if supported by the tool.
WebP
A web-focused format commonly used for online images. Crop WebP images when a website or content workflow needs a different composition or aspect ratio.
