Crop image online

Find the frame that makes the subject clear.

Crop a JPEG, PNG or WebP with a freeform selection, exact pixels, common aspect ratios or shape masks. Move and resize the selection, check the edges and export without uploading the image.

How to crop an image online

Start with the destination, then define the frame with a ratio, exact pixels or a shape.

Back to crop
  1. 1

    Choose an image and destination

    Open a JPEG, PNG or WebP and decide where the result will be used. Check the destination's aspect ratio and minimum pixel dimensions before setting the crop.

  2. 2

    Set the crop area

    Choose Freeform, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9 or a shape. Drag to move and resize the selection, or enter exact left, top, width and height values. Keep important faces, text and product details away from the edges.

  3. 3

    Check and download

    Generate the crop and confirm that the subject remains complete. Export the result, keep the original and use resize or compression only when the destination also requires different dimensions or file size.

Questions about this tool

Understand the differences between framing, dimensions, formats and export behavior.

How to crop an image: aspect ratios, pixels and composition
Is cropping the same as resizing?

No. Cropping keeps one area and removes the rest, changing the composition. Resizing scales the full image. Crop when the frame needs to change; resize when the composition is already correct but the dimensions are not.

Resize the full image when you need new dimensions without removing any part of the frame.

Should I crop by aspect ratio or exact pixels?

Use an aspect ratio when the destination specifies a shape such as 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9. Use exact pixels when it specifies width and height. A ratio controls the frame shape; pixel dimensions control the actual output size.

Can I crop an image into a circle or another shape?

Yes. Shape crops can create transparent corners, so export as PNG or WebP when that transparency must be preserved. A JPEG export fills transparent areas with the selected matte color.

Why can a cropped file be larger than the original?

File size depends on format, dimensions and image detail, not only the visible area. A PNG crop can be larger than a JPEG source. Inspect the crop first, then use image compression if the destination has a file-size limit.

Use image compression when the destination has a file-size limit.

From a photo to something worth sharing.

Combine tools for a cover, shop images or a visual story. Here are three ways to start.

    Build your edit, step by step

    Set the composition and size, then adjust colors, annotate or watermark. Switch tools on the same image and undo applied changes.

    Check your result and download

    Compare with the original, then choose PNG, JPEG or WebP. Download multiple results as a ZIP and save them before leaving.

A few things to know first.

Questions about your images, privacy and exports.

Need a hand? Contact support
Do I need an account or a paid plan?

The basic image editor is free and needs no account. Cropping, adjustments, annotations and batch exports run in your browser without using cloud image credits.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

This workspace processes your images in the current browser without uploading them. Download your results before leaving or refreshing; the workspace does not autosave.

Which formats and image sizes work?

Use static JPEG, PNG or WebP images. Each image can be up to 25 MiB, 24 megapixels and 12,000 pixels per edge. A session supports up to 16 images, 80 MiB of source files and 96 megapixels total. Animated images, HEIC and PDF are not supported.

Can I use several tools on the same image?

Yes. Switch tools in the editor to keep working on your current image. Undo, redo and restore are available, with up to 12 history steps, fewer under memory pressure. Saved text and shapes remain editable until a pixel edit flattens them into the image.

Which export format should I choose?

Choose PNG or WebP for transparency, or JPEG with a quality setting for photos. JPEG fills transparent areas with the matte color. PNG does not use a quality setting, and the editor reports when a file-size target cannot be met.

How do I hide private information in a screenshot?

Use a solid cover in the Redact tool and inspect the exported result. Blur and pixelation may leave details recognizable, so use solid covers for passwords, account numbers and other sensitive text.

Now, make it your own.
