How to crop an image
Upload your image, then drag the highlighted box to position your crop. Drag the corner handle to resize it. Pick an aspect ratio preset (1:1 for profile pictures, 16:9 for video thumbnails, 9:16 for stories) to lock the shape, or use "Free" to crop any dimensions. When you're happy, click "Crop Image" and download. Everything runs in your browser — your image is never uploaded.
Common crop ratios
- 1:1 (square) — profile pictures, Instagram posts
- 4:3 — classic photo prints and presentations
- 16:9 — YouTube thumbnails, video, widescreen
- 9:16 — Instagram Stories, Reels, TikTok
Your image stays private
This cropper uses the HTML5 Canvas API to process your image entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded — disconnect from the internet and it still works. After cropping, you can resize or compress the result.
