Crop an Image to a Chosen Aspect Ratio
Use the upload area to drop an image or select browse files. The interface lists PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, and WEBP. After an image loads, the crop workspace appears.
- Choose a ratio preset, or keep Free selected for manual resizing.
- Drag the selection box over the image to position the crop.
- Drag a corner handle to change the crop size. Presets keep the selection at the chosen shape.
- Select Export cropped image to download the cropped image as a PNG.
Choose a Preset or Resize Freely
The crop controls provide these options: Free, 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16, 3:4, 2:3, and 21:9. Select a preset to constrain the selection shape. Choose Free to resize the selection manually.
Use the Crop Workspace Controls
After an image loads, the workspace shows the image with an on-page selection box and these readouts:
- Original size shows the loaded image dimensions.
- Original ratio shows the loaded image's width-to-height ratio.
- Crop size shows the current selection dimensions.
- Crop ratio shows the current selection's width-to-height ratio.
Select Reset selection to restore the crop selection, or choose Use a different image to return to image selection.
Limits and Privacy
The crop workspace stays hidden until an image is loaded. The file input accepts PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, and WEBP files, matching the visible upload area. The page states that image processing happens locally in your browser and that the image is not uploaded.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No. The export keeps the original pixel resolution of the selected region - you're only removing the parts outside the selection, not resampling what remains.
Can I crop to a ratio that isn't in the preset list?
Yes - use Free mode and drag the handles to any shape you need. The exact ratio and pixel size update live as you resize.
What file format does the export use?
The cropped image downloads as a PNG, which preserves transparency if your original image had any.
