How to use this image tool
Crop an image in your browser using free crop controls or common aspect ratios.
How the browser processing works
- Loads the image locally and lets you choose a crop area.
- Supports free crop plus 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, and 9:16 ratios.
- Exports only the selected crop area as a new image.
Formula
Cropped output = selected source rectangle drawn to a new canvas.
Example
Crop a landscape photo to a 1:1 square for a profile or thumbnail image.
Using your output
Use the cropped output when you only need part of the original image or need a specific composition.
Assumptions and limitations
- The crop controls use percentages so they work on mobile as well as desktop.
- No image upload is required.
Frequently asked questions
Does cropping upload my image?
No. The crop is created in your browser from the selected image.
Which aspect ratio should I use?
Use 1:1 for square crops, 16:9 for widescreen, and 9:16 for vertical formats.
