Image Cropper
Drag to crop, lock to any feed shape, straighten, or cut a circle — full resolution, no upload, no watermark.
How it works
How to crop an image?
Open the picture
Drag in a JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF or BMP, or pick one. It is read straight off your device — nothing is uploaded, so there is no size cap and no queue.
Drag the box over what you want
Move the box with your finger or the mouse and pull a corner to resize it. Lock it to a shape — square, 4:5, 9:16 — or type the four numbers if you were handed a spec.
Turn it, straighten it, round it off
Rotate in quarter turns, mirror it, level a tilted horizon with the straighten slider, and cut the corners round or into a circle if it is going to be a profile picture.
Download the crop
Save as PNG, JPG or WebP at the crop’s own resolution, or resize it to an exact width on the way out. Nothing is stamped in the corner.
Picking a shape
Which crop ratio to use?
Every feed has an opinion about the shape of a picture, and the one it does not get it crops for you — around the middle, which is rarely where the subject is. Lock the ratio here instead and the box cannot drift off it however you drag. The sizes below are what each platform serves at its largest; more pixels than that are spent on their transcoder rather than on the viewer.
| Ratio | Export around | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| 1:1 | 1080 × 1080 | Profile pictures, square feed posts, grid thumbnails, album art |
| 4:5 | 1080 × 1350 | The tallest an Instagram or Facebook feed post can be — the most screen per scroll |
| 9:16 | 1080 × 1920 | Stories, Reels, TikTok, Shorts — anything that fills a phone |
| 16:9 | 1920 × 1080 | YouTube thumbnails, link cards on X and LinkedIn, slides, banners |
| 3:2 | 1800 × 1200 | The 35mm frame. Prints at 6×4 inches with nothing trimmed off |
| 4:3 | 1600 × 1200 | The phone and compact camera shape, and 8×6 inch prints |
None of those the one you were given? Type the two numbers under Custom, or press ⇄ Turn to stand any lock on its side — 16:9 becomes 9:16 without hunting for a second chip.
