Image Crop

About this tool

Cropping throws away what you do not want: a square avatar, a 16:9 cover, a 9:16 phone wallpaper. This tool lets you drag a selection box straight on the picture - free-form, or locked to 1:1, 4:3 and 9:16 so the box always keeps the target shape. The box can be dragged into place and resized from its corner handle, fully WYSIWYG.

Pixels inside the box are kept exactly as they are - cropping never rescales or resamples. The output can keep the original format or switch to JPG/PNG/WebP. Everything runs locally: the original is never modified, and a mistake just means drawing the box again.

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop a square avatar?

Choose the 1:1 ratio, drag a square box over the area you want to keep, and crop. Drag the box to fine-tune the position so the subject sits centred.

Does cropping lose quality?

The pixels inside the box are preserved exactly - there is no scaling loss. The output is re-encoded once in the chosen format; at the default 90%+ quality the difference is invisible. Always crop from the original when retrying to avoid stacking re-encodes.

I cropped wrong - what now?

Nothing is lost: the original file is never modified. Reset, pick the original again, and draw the box anew; the selection can also be adjusted any time before cropping.

Does the crop box work on touch screens?

Yes. The box supports touch dragging and resizing (hold the box or the corner handle). On small screens, zoom the page first for more precise selections.
