About Image Cropper

Image Cropper lets you crop images to precise selections with support for freeform, fixed-ratio, and common preset crops (1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 9:16). An interactive drag-and-resize handle makes it easy to frame your subject perfectly before downloading. The result is exported as PNG or JPEG at the original resolution within the crop area.

How it Works

1Upload an image using the file picker or drag and drop.
2Drag the crop handles to define the area you want to keep.
3Optionally lock the aspect ratio or choose a preset like Square or 16:9.
4Download the cropped image. The output is cropped to your selection at the original pixel density.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does cropping reduce image quality?

Cropping is a lossless operation in terms of the pixels that remain — it simply discards the pixels outside your selection. The kept pixels are not modified. If you export as JPEG, the JPEG compression is applied at that point; export as PNG for lossless output.

Can I crop to an exact pixel size?

Yes. Enter the exact pixel dimensions in the width/height fields to constrain the crop selection to that size. The crop handle will respect your specified dimensions.

What aspect ratios are available as presets?

Common presets include 1:1 (square, for profile pictures and Instagram posts), 16:9 (widescreen, for YouTube thumbnails and presentation slides), 4:3 (classic photo, for print), 3:2 (DSLR sensor ratio), and 9:16 (portrait video and Instagram Stories). Freeform mode allows any ratio.

Can I crop animated GIFs?

Cropping an animated GIF will crop only the first frame and export a static image. Animated GIF editing requires specialised tools that handle each frame individually.
