What this tool does
Crop images in a local preview with precise dimensions, freeform selection, or common aspect ratios.
Practical guidance
Choose the target aspect ratio before positioning the crop. Keep important faces and text away from the edge so later thumbnails, rounded masks, or print bleed do not cut them off.
Three simple steps
- Add an image.
- Move and resize the crop area or choose an aspect ratio.
- Apply the crop and download the result.

Frequently asked questions
Can I crop to a fixed aspect ratio?
Yes. Select a common ratio or unlock it for a freeform crop.
Is the original image changed?
No. The browser creates a new downloadable file and leaves your original untouched.
Concrete input and output example
Input a 1920×1080 screenshot, select a centered 1:1 region, and export 1080×1080. Everything outside the crop is absent from the new file, so keep the source for alternate framing.
Browser compatibility notes
Reviewed against the implementation and required web APIs on 2026-08-12. Use a current browser where these APIs are available and verify important output on your device.
- Chrome / Edge (current desktop)
- Requires local decode, canvas, encoding, Blob download, and enough memory; verify the downloaded image.
- Firefox (current desktop)
- Uses the same standard local APIs; color rendering can differ slightly from Chromium.
- Safari (current desktop)
- Uses canvas and Blob downloads; available memory and codec behavior remain WebKit-controlled.
A tool-specific question
Can I restore the cropped area from the download?
No. The export contains only the selected pixel rectangle. Keep the original for reversible framing.
