About the Crop Image converter
Cropping is the most common thing anyone does to a photo, and almost every free tool for it wants the picture uploaded to a server first.
Drag a box over your photo, drag the corners to resize it, and download just that part. The picture never leaves your device.
Shapes that hold while you drag
Pick square, 4:5, 16:9 or any of the presets and the box keeps that shape however you drag it. That is harder than it sounds: the ratio has to hold, the corner you are not dragging has to stay put, and the whole thing has to stay inside the picture.
When those three fight — dragging a corner hard against the edge of the photo, say — the box shrinks to fit rather than sliding off the image. Every handle and every direction is covered by tests, because a cropper that quietly lets the box leave the picture produces a file with a black band down one side.
The numbers are there if you want them
Below the picture are the exact position and size in pixels, which you can type into directly. Useful when something needs to be an exact size — a banner, a header image, an avatar at a size a site insists on.
The ratio readout names the shape you have: a 4000 × 2667 crop reads as 3:2, not as the technically-true-but-useless 1.50:1 that reducing the fraction would give.
Resize on the way out
Cropping a 24-megapixel photo to a square still leaves an enormous file. Setting an output width scales the result as it is saved, so you get the crop you wanted at the size you actually need.
Asking for more pixels than you cropped is possible but pointless, so the page says so rather than silently producing a stretched image.
Frequently asked questions
Does cropping reduce the quality?
The crop itself takes the original pixels, so nothing is lost there. Saving as JPG or WebP re-compresses, which costs a little — save as PNG if the image is a screenshot or line art and you want it untouched.
Why is my transparent PNG now white?
JPEG has no transparency, so anything see-through is filled with white. Choose PNG or WebP to keep it.
Can I crop to an exact number of pixels?
Yes. Type the width and height into the boxes below the picture, or set an output width to scale the crop as it saves.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The image is drawn to a canvas in your own browser and saved from there, so it never leaves your device. The page keeps working with the network off.
