How do I crop an image?

Choose an image, drag to select the area you want to keep, optionally pick an aspect ratio, then click Crop and Download to save the result as a PNG.

Can I crop to a specific aspect ratio?

Yes. You can crop free-form or lock to common ratios like 1:1 for square, 16:9 for widescreen, 4:3, and 3:4 for portrait, which is handy for social media and thumbnails.

Can I rotate the image while cropping?

Yes. The rotate button turns the image 90 degrees, so you can straighten or reorient a photo before cropping.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Cropping happens entirely in your browser, so your image never leaves your device — safe for personal and private photos.

What format is the output?

The cropped image downloads as a PNG, preserving quality for use anywhere.

Image Cropper — Crop and Reframe Photos in Your Browser

Cropping is the most common image edit there is — removing distractions, reframing a subject, or fitting a photo to a specific shape. This free image cropper lets you do it precisely in your browser, with free-form cropping or fixed aspect ratios, plus rotation, and downloads the result as a clean PNG. Nothing is uploaded, so even personal photos stay completely private.

Crop Free-Form or to a Ratio

Sometimes you just want to trim an image by eye, and free-form cropping lets you drag any rectangle you like. Other times you need an exact shape, and that is where fixed aspect ratios help: 1:1 for perfect squares (profile pictures, product shots), 16:9 for widescreen thumbnails and video covers, 4:3 for classic photos, and 3:4 for portrait orientation. Locking the ratio ensures your crop fits its destination perfectly, with no awkward stretching later.

Rotate and Straighten

Images do not always arrive the right way up. The rotate control turns the image ninety degrees at a time, letting you fix a sideways photo or reorient a screenshot before you crop. Combined with the crop box, it gives you enough control to get most everyday framing jobs done in seconds without opening heavy editing software.

Perfect for Social Media and Thumbnails

Every platform has its preferred image shape — square posts, widescreen video thumbnails, portrait stories. Cropping to the right aspect ratio before you upload means your image displays cleanly instead of being awkwardly cut off or letterboxed by the platform. This tool's ratio presets map directly to the most common needs, making it a quick step in preparing images for the web.

Private by Design

Your images are processed entirely in your browser using its built-in canvas — nothing is sent to any server, logged, or stored. That makes the cropper safe for personal photos, screenshots containing private information, and any image you would rather not upload somewhere. There is no account and no cost, and it works the same on desktop and mobile.
