Image Cropper — Crop Photos Precisely, In Your Browser guide
Crop images precisely in your browser: preset aspect ratios for every platform (1:1 profile pictures, 16:9 covers, 9:16 stories), rotate and flip controls, an exact pixel readout of the crop box, and export at the exact size you type. Downloads as PNG, JPG or WebP — and your image never leaves your device.
How to use this tool
Choose or drop an image. It opens with a crop box over the best-fit area — drag the image to reposition it, drag the box or its corners to frame exactly what you want, and scroll or use the Zoom slider to magnify.
Lock an aspect ratio if the destination has one (1:1 for profile pictures, 16:9 for video covers, 9:16 for stories), or leave it Free. Rotate in 90° steps, flip for a mirror image, and watch the live preview and the crop-box pixel readout as you work.
Set the output size if you need exact pixels (the height follows automatically when a ratio is locked), pick PNG, JPG or WebP, and download. What you see in the preview is exactly what lands in the file.
A worked example
A 4000 × 3000 phone photo becoming a website banner: lock 16:9, drag the box onto the subject, type output width 1600 (the height fills in as 900), and export JPG — a banner that drops straight into the page at a fraction of the original file weight.
How it works
The crop is computed against the original full-resolution image, not the on-screen preview: the editor tracks the crop box in real image pixels, applies rotation and flips as transforms, and renders the final canvas with high-quality smoothing at exactly the requested output dimensions. JPG exports are flattened onto white so transparent areas never turn black.
Frequently asked questions
What aspect ratio do I need?
Profile pictures: 1:1. Video covers: 16:9. Phone stories and reel covers: 9:16. Classic prints: 3:2 (6×4) or 4:3. Product listings usually want 1:1 or 4:3 — the destination’s help page states it.
Will cropping reduce quality?
The crop itself works at the original resolution — pixels inside the box are copied, not re-shot. Quality only drops if you export far larger than the crop box (upscaling) or choose a low JPG quality.
Why does the other dimension change when I type a size?
When an aspect ratio is locked, width and height must stay proportional, so the tool keeps them in step. Switch the ratio to Free if you need independent dimensions.
Can I crop a logo with transparency?
Yes — PNG and WebP exports keep transparency. JPG does not support it, so transparent areas are placed on white instead.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The editor runs entirely in your browser; your photos never leave your device.
