About this tool
Cropping trims an image down to the part you actually want — cutting away a distracting background, isolating a face from a group photo, or pulling a clean square out of a landscape shot for a profile picture. Drop in an image, drag a rectangle over the region to keep (or type exact X, Y, width and height if you know the numbers), optionally lock the selection to a 1:1, 4:3 or 16:9 ratio, then download. The crop happens on a canvas entirely in your browser: the file is never uploaded anywhere.
Under the hood, cropping reads only the selected rectangle out of the source pixels using the canvas drawImage crop form, so the result is a fresh image at exactly the selection's size — no scaling, no quality loss beyond the destination format's own encoding. PNG output keeps transparency intact; JPEG is offered for smaller files when transparency is not needed. The selection is always clamped to the image's real bounds, so dragging past an edge cannot produce a broken or out-of-range crop.
Frequently asked questions
Can I crop to an exact pixel size instead of dragging?
Yes — the X/Y/Width/Height number fields next to the preview stay in sync with your drag selection, so you can either drag roughly and then fine-tune the numbers, or skip dragging entirely and type the exact coordinates you want.
Will cropping reduce the image quality?
No — the selected region is copied pixel-for-pixel from the original at its full source resolution, not from a downscaled preview, so there's no resampling blur. If you export as JPEG, the usual JPEG compression applies just as it would for any JPEG save, but that's independent of the crop operation itself.
