About Image Cropping
Image cropping removes unwanted outer areas from a photo, letting you focus on the most important part of the composition. It's one of the most common image editing operations for social media, web design, and print.
Cropping to specific aspect ratios ensures your images fit perfectly in designated spaces. A 1:1 square crop is perfect for Instagram profile photos, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails, and 4:3 for traditional photo prints.
This tool processes your crop entirely in the browser, so your images stay private. The crop is pixel-perfect and maintains the original image quality within the selected area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No. Cropping simply removes pixels outside the selected area. The remaining portion retains its original quality.
Can I crop to a custom aspect ratio?
Yes. You can either use preset ratios (1:1, 4:3, 16:9) or freely drag the crop area to any custom proportion.
What is the best aspect ratio for social media?
Instagram posts: 1:1 (square) or 4:5 (portrait). Facebook/Twitter posts: 16:9. Stories/Reels: 9:16. YouTube thumbnails: 16:9.
Can I crop transparent PNG images?
Yes. Transparency is preserved when cropping PNG images. The cropped area retains all original transparency data.
Is there a minimum crop size?
You can crop to any size, even a single pixel. However, very small crops may not be useful for most purposes.
