Crop Image Online

Drag a box over the part you want to keep, lock it to a shape like 1:1 or 16:9, or type exact pixels — then download the cropped photo free.

Good to know: cropping keeps your original pixels — it doesn't resize the picture. Camera and location details in the original aren't copied into the new file. It is easy to use and access.

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop an image online?

Add your image, drag the crop box and its handles over the part you want to keep, then click Crop image and download the result. It all happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

Is this image cropper free?

Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many images you crop.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Your image is opened and cropped directly in your browser, and never leaves your device.

How do I crop to a specific aspect ratio?

Pick a shape such as 1:1, 4:5, 16:9 or 9:16 and the crop box locks to that ratio while you move and resize it. Choose Free to crop to any shape, or Original to keep the image's own proportions.

Can I crop to exact pixel dimensions?

Yes. Type the X and Y position and the width and height in pixels, measured from the top-left corner of the image. Cropping keeps the original pixels; it doesn't resize the picture.

Does cropping reduce image quality?

PNG output is lossless. JPG and WebP output is saved again at the quality you choose, which defaults to 92% and is hard to tell apart from the original.

Is photo metadata removed?

Yes. The cropped file is created fresh in your browser, so camera details and location data stored in the original are not copied into it.

What happens to transparent areas?

PNG and WebP keep transparency. JPG can't store it, so transparent areas are filled with white.

Which image formats can I crop?

JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP work in every modern browser.

Can I rotate the image while cropping?

Yes. Use Rotate left or Rotate right in 90° steps. The crop box resets after each rotation so you can frame the new orientation.
