How to Use This Tool

  1. Upload an image.
  2. Optionally choose a fixed aspect ratio, or leave it on Free.
  3. Drag the corner handles to resize the crop box, or drag inside the box to move it.
  4. Select "Crop & Download" to save the cropped result.

How It Works

The crop box position is tracked in the coordinate space of the image as it is displayed on screen, then scaled up to the image’s full natural resolution when you crop. This means the downloaded image keeps the original resolution of the cropped area rather than a screen-sized preview.

Example

Cropping a 4000 × 3000 landscape photo to a 1:1 square using the center portion produces a full-resolution 3000 × 3000 square image, not a resized preview.

Benefits

  • Precise, full-resolution crops.
  • Fixed ratios for social media, print, or video thumbnails.
  • Nothing leaves your browser.

Important Notes

Very large images are displayed at a reduced preview size for smooth dragging, but the final crop is always calculated at the original image resolution.


Frequently Asked Questions

Does cropping stretch or distort my image?

No. Cropping only cuts out a rectangular region of the original image at its full resolution — the kept area is never stretched or squeezed.

What aspect ratios are available?

Free-form (any shape), 1:1 (square), 4:3, and 16:9. Choosing a ratio locks the crop box to that shape while you resize it.

Can I move the crop box after resizing it?

Yes, click and drag anywhere inside the crop box to reposition it without changing its size.

What format is the cropped image downloaded as?

The cropped image is downloaded in the same format as the original file (JPG, PNG, or WebP).

Is my image uploaded anywhere to crop it?

No, cropping happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image is never sent to a server.
