Crop image
Updated Nothing is uploaded
Trim any photo to the part you want. Drag the box or its handles (works with touch), lock an aspect ratio, rotate or flip, then export at the exact pixel size you need — the image never leaves your device.
How to crop an image
- Choose a photo (JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC or AVIF).
- Pick an aspect ratio — Free, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9… — or a social/print preset.
- Drag the crop box to position it and pull the handles to resize. Use Zoom for a tighter crop, and rotate or flip if needed.
- Optionally type an output width or height, choose JPG, PNG or WebP, then press Crop image and download.

Cropping vs. resizing
Cropping cuts away the edges and changes what's in the frame; resizing scales the whole picture. To hit an exact size without stretching, crop to the target ratio first (e.g. 4:5), then set the output width — the tool does both in one step.
Print size math
Inches = pixels ÷ DPI. A 1800-pixel-wide crop prints 6 inches wide at 300 DPI (photo quality) or 12 inches at 150 DPI. The "At 300 DPI" box under the editor shows this for your current crop.

Frequently asked questions
Does cropping reduce image quality?
Cropping itself only removes pixels. Quality is lost only if you enlarge a small crop or save as JPG/WebP at a low quality; use PNG or 90%+ quality to keep it crisp.
How do I crop a photo to a passport size?
Choose the 'US passport 2×2 in (600×600)' preset, place your head in the center of the box and export. Check your country's rules — many use 35×45 mm (7:9) instead.
Can I crop on my phone?
Yes. The crop box and handles work with touch, and the result downloads to your phone's files or photos.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Cropping happens in your browser with the Canvas API; nothing is sent to a server.
