Precise when you need it
Drag or type
Drag the box and its eight handles, or type its width, height and position in pixels.
Works with a keyboard
Focus the box and move it with the arrow keys; hold Shift to move it faster.
Only shapes that fit
If an image is too small for a shape, that shape is greyed out, so every crop you make is a real one.
When to crop an image
- To remove a distracting edge, a finger or part of the background.
- To make a square profile picture.
- To fit a photo to a frame, a banner or a print size.
- To keep just the face and shoulders before resizing a photo for a form.
Cropping and quality
Cropping keeps every pixel inside the box exactly as it was: nothing is stretched or blurred. The result is saved at high quality in the same format, or as JPG when the browser can't save that format, such as an iPhone HEIC photo.
Frequently asked questions
How do I crop an image?
Choose your image, pick a shape, drag the box over the part you want to keep, and press Crop.
Which shapes can I crop to?
Free (any shape), the image's original shape, 1:1 (square), 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, 16:9 and 9:16.
How do I make a square photo?
Pick 1:1, move the box over the part you want, such as your face for a profile picture, and press Crop.
Can I crop to an exact size in pixels?
Yes. Type the width, height and position of the box in pixels. If a form needs the photo at a set size, resize it after cropping.
Can I crop without dragging?
Yes. Type the size and position, or focus the box and move it with the arrow keys; hold Shift to move faster.
Does cropping lower the quality?
No. The pixels inside the box stay as they were, and the file is saved again at high quality.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Cropping happens in your browser, and your image is never sent to a server.
