Crop Image Online — Free Image Cropper for Any Aspect Ratio

Upload your image, select a preset aspect ratio like 1:1 (square), 4:5 (portrait), or 16:9 (landscape), and position the crop. This online image cropper preserves quality and helps create Instagram posts, profile pictures, and website banners with precise framing. Supports JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, SVG formats.

Pick the 16:9 preset, which is the ratio of a 1280x720 thumbnail, then drag to reframe the subject and confirm the composition before downloading. There are no fields for typing exact width and height, so use the Resize Image tool afterwards if the file must be exactly 1280x720.

Cropping removes unwanted edges without resampling, so quality stays the same within the kept area. Because we don't upscale, the remaining pixels remain crisp, making this ideal for portrait headshots, product close-ups, and social media visuals that need focus. Useful for professional photographers and businesses.

Use 1:1 for Instagram feed, 4:5 for portrait posts, 16:9 for landscape, and platform-specific sizes for cover images. Our crop presets help you hit the recommended ratios, so your photos display correctly without awkward trimming or black bars on different devices. Optimized for social media marketing strategies.

Yes. You can crop JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP files, then download a high-quality JPEG for universal compatibility. Transparent PNGs maintain crisp edges, which is useful when preparing assets for ecommerce listings, presentation slides, and UI mockups. SVG files retain scalability for logos and vector graphics.

Yes. The crop happens safely on secure servers. Downloads have no watermarks, making this a safe choice for personal photos, client work, and time-sensitive content creation that needs reliable privacy and speed.

Cropping trims parts of the photo to change its shape or framing without stretching anything, while resizing keeps the whole image but scales it to new pixel dimensions. If you want to keep the entire picture and just make it smaller or larger, use the Resize Image tool; use this cropper when you want to cut to a specific area or aspect ratio.

Drag the corner handles to resize the crop box freely, drag inside the box to reposition it, or use the + / − width and height steppers for fine control — the live pixel size is shown as you go. When the framing looks right, choose JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF output and download.

Yes — 'circle crop', 'photo circle' and 'round image' all mean the same thing: cutting your picture into a round circle. Upload any photo, position and resize the circle, and download a round image with a transparent PNG background, or a solid color if you export as JPG.

This tool crops to a circle. For other shapes — heart, star, diamond, hexagon and more — use the Crop by Shape tool, which works the same way but lets you pick the cut-out shape.

It sets the JPEG compression from 1% (smallest file, visible artifacts) to 100% (largest file, no visible loss). For social posts or thumbnails 80-90% keeps the file small with no noticeable quality drop; for print or close-up product shots push it to 95-100%. Switching to PNG or WebP skips this slider since PNG is lossless and WebP uses its own efficient compression.

Square places the largest centered 1:1 box that fits your photo, which matches Instagram feed posts and most profile pictures, Landscape (16:9) matches YouTube thumbnails and widescreen banners, and Portrait (9:16) suits Stories and other full-screen vertical formats; the 2:3 preset suits standard photo prints and Pinterest-style vertical images. Click a preset to place the crop box at that ratio, then drag it into position; the ratio is not locked, so pulling a handle changes the shape freely.

Choose WebP as the Output Format for the best size-to-quality ratio on the web — it's typically 25-35% smaller than an equivalent JPEG at the same visual quality. If you need JPEG for compatibility instead, pair it with a Quality setting around 80% to balance a small file size against sharp detail.

Portrait snaps the crop box to a 9:16 vertical ratio — the same shape used by Instagram Stories and Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts — so the crop fills a phone screen edge-to-edge. 4:5 is a shorter, wider portrait ratio meant for regular Instagram and Facebook feed posts, not full-screen vertical video, so pick Portrait specifically when your final destination is a Story, Reel or Short.

4:3 and 3:2 match the sensor ratios of classic point-and-shoot and DSLR cameras plus older 4:3 monitors and TVs, so pick one of those if your original photo was shot in that ratio and you don't want extra letterboxing. 3:4 and 2:3 are the same ratios flipped to portrait orientation, useful for vertical prints, Pinterest pins and framed photos.

4x6 prints match the 2:3 preset exactly, and 8x10 prints match 4:5 exactly, so picking those presets means your print lab won't auto-crop anything off. 5x7 doesn't correspond exactly to any preset (its ratio falls between 3:4 and 4:3), so for that size it's more accurate to skip presets and drag the crop box freeform, or use the Width/Height steppers, which move in 5% steps, and watch the live pixel size to get close to what your printer requests.

Free doesn't reset or resize anything — it simply marks itself as the active preset, while your crop box stays exactly where it was. To get back to a fully freeform box after using a ratio preset like 16:9 or 4:5, click Free and then drag the corner handles or use the Width/Height steppers to adjust the shape manually.

Cropping is the simplest way to cut an image online: drag the crop box over the part you want to keep and everything outside it is trimmed away. Use freeform mode or start from a ratio preset like 1:1 or 16:9. Preview and download without creating an account.

Yes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 60 images on Premium or 200 on Pro, set your options once, and every image is processed with the same settings before you download a single ZIP. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.

Yes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch — up to 60 images on Premium or 200 on Pro. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.

Almost always one of three things. The file is over the 20 MB free upload limit — Premium takes 50 MB and Pro 120 MB. The format is not one this tool accepts, so check the list shown on the upload panel. Or the file is not really the format its name says: renaming a file does not change what is inside it, and that is the reason a valid-looking image gets refused.

Cropping, rotating, resizing and framing keep your original pixels — quality loss almost always comes from somewhere else. The two usual causes are enlarging a small image past the resolution it actually has, and re-saving a JPG over and over, because each save throws away a little more. Start from the largest original you still have, and export PNG when the image contains text, screenshots or flat color.

Crop Image supports free standard use within the published processing allowances. Free downloads are clean — no watermark. No signup is required for standard tool use. Photo effects and AI edits have a web-size limit on Free, with the original-resolution result available through Premium or one credit. Crop, resize, rotate, compress and convert stay full size. Premium supports batches of up to 60 files, with the applicable plan limits shown before processing.

No — Crop Image runs in the browser on desktop and phone. There is nothing to install, no trial to start, and no license to buy before you can see whether it does what you need. Try it on the file you are actually stuck with rather than a sample.

Yes. Open this page in a browser on a phone or a computer, upload a photo and crop it with the box. There is nothing to install, and the cropped file downloads from the result screen.

Upload the JPG, drag the box over the part to keep and select See result. The crop keeps the pixels inside the box at their original size and does not scale them. JPEG output is saved again at the Quality setting, which starts at 92, so raise it toward 100 if you want the least compression.

You cannot type exact values here. Choose the Landscape (16:9) preset for the shape, crop, and then set the exact pixel size with Image Resizer. The box size moves in steps, so a crop will not usually land on a round number by itself.

Cropping removes parts of a picture and never stretches it. To stretch a photo to a new shape, open Image Resizer as a photo stretcher, turn off Maintain aspect ratio and enter the width and height you want. Expect faces and circles to look distorted when the picture is stretched.

Canva's own controls are outside this tool. To resize an image without cropping it here, use Image Resizer with Maintain aspect ratio on: the whole picture is fitted inside the new size and the leftover space is filled from the Background tab. Then upload the resized file to Canva.

This tool crops pictures such as JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF files, not PDF pages. To trim the margins of a PDF page, use Crop PDF, which sets top, right, bottom and left margins in millimeters and shows a live preview.

Freehand outlines are not available. The Free preset gives a rectangle that you size by hand, and Crop by Shape offers ready-made outlines such as a heart, star, triangle and oval. Circle Crop makes round pictures.

This tool crops rectangles. For an oval photo crop, open Crop by Shape and choose Oval, an outline that keeps a fixed, wider-than-tall proportion, then download a transparent PNG.

Choose the Square preset to crop a 1:1 square, move the box over the face and download. For a profile picture framed on the face automatically at 800 × 800 pixels, use Facebook Resize and its Profile Picture preset.
