How to Crop an Image to a Square, 16:9 or Any Aspect Ratio
Common aspect ratios and where they are used, a simple formula for the largest possible crop, and step-by-step cropping to squares, 16:9, 4:5 and print sizes.
Drag a box over the part you want to keep and crop the rest away. No upload, no account. If the photo is also the wrong way up, run Rotate Image first, then Resize Image to set the final dimensions.
Drop a photo onto the box or click to select one.
Position the box over the part you want to keep. Everything outside it is discarded.
Apply the crop and download the new image.
Cropping is the quickest way to improve a photo: remove a distracting edge, tighten the frame around a face, or cut a screenshot down to the part that matters. This crop tool works with JPG, PNG and WebP images directly in the browser, so the photo never leaves your device and there is no account or watermark involved.
Because cropping only removes pixels, the part you keep is untouched. It has exactly the sharpness it had in the original, which makes cropping safer for quality than enlarging or heavy compression.
A crop decides the shape and framing of an image; it does not set its final pixel size. Profile pictures, product listings and document photos often need both: a specific shape, such as a square, and specific dimensions. Crop to the shape here, then enter the exact numbers in Resize Image.
If the photo is lying on its side, fix that first with Rotate Image, since a sideways picture makes the crop box hard to place. And if the cropped file is still over an upload limit, Compress Image will bring it under.
Usually yes, because there are fewer pixels left - but it is not a reliable way to hit a specific size. Use Compress Image when you have a KB or MB limit to meet.
Set the crop box to the proportions you need before applying. For an exact pixel result, crop first and then set the numbers in Resize Image.
No. The crop produces a new file that you download; the image on your device stays exactly as it was.
