Crop Image
Drag to crop any image, with aspect ratio presets and circle crop. Free, no upload.
Drop an image and drag a selection to crop it. Lock a common aspect ratio like 1:1 or 16:9, or turn on circle crop for round profile pictures. Everything happens in your browser.
You crop the original, not the preview
The picture you drag across is a scaled-down preview, capped at a few hundred pixels so it fits the page, but the selection you make is mapped back onto the original image and the crop is cut from those full-resolution pixels. Crop a 4000 pixel wide photo down to its middle half and you get a roughly 2000 pixel wide file, not a fragment of the small preview. The aspect presets, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 and 3:2, lock the selection's shape while you drag; circle crop cuts an ellipse and always saves as PNG, because PNG's alpha channel is what keeps the outside of the circle transparent instead of white.
For rectangular crops the output format follows the input: PNG stays PNG, saved losslessly, WebP stays WebP, and everything else, including HEIC photos straight from an iPhone, comes out as a JPG at 0.92 quality. Since the image is decoded to pixels in your browser before any of this happens, EXIF metadata and GPS location are not carried into the cropped file, and the file itself never leaves your device: the crop is computed in your tab, which you can confirm with the network tab open.
Frequently asked questions
Can I crop to a circle?
Yes. Turn on circle crop and your image is cut into a circle with a transparent background, saved as a PNG.
Does cropping reduce quality?
Cropping itself does not: it removes the area outside your selection and keeps the rest at full resolution. Saving can, slightly, for one format: a JPG source is re-encoded as JPG at 0.92 quality, one more lossy pass that is visually very close but not byte-identical. A PNG source is saved losslessly.
