Crop Images Online

Cropping keeps a selected rectangular region and discards the pixels outside it. The output dimensions are therefore the crop width and height shown in source pixels. A 1,200 × 800 crop exports as 1,200 × 800 rather than being stretched to another size.

Resizing is a different operation that scales the whole image to new dimensions. Use Image Resizer when you need to make an entire picture smaller or larger, and use this cropper when you need to change framing or aspect ratio.

Free mode lets width and height change independently. The 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, and 9:16 presets keep their proportions while you resize, which is useful for square profile images, landscape displays, and portrait posts.

Selecting a ratio starts with the largest centered crop that fits inside the source. Exact X, Y, width, and height fields provide a keyboard-friendly way to position or fine-tune the crop without relying on pointer precision.

JPG and JPEG crops remain JPEG, PNG crops remain lossless PNG, and static WebP crops remain WebP. PNG and WebP alpha transparency is preserved. JPG has no transparency and uses a neutral preview surface.

Browsers can decode AVIF but do not provide dependable AVIF canvas encoding. AVIF crops therefore offer an explicit PNG or JPG output choice. PNG is the default and preserves transparency; JPG uses the chosen quality and background color.

JPG and WebP output use a quality setting from 1 to 100, with 90 as the default. PNG is lossless and does not show a misleading quality control. A cropped file can be larger or smaller than its source depending on format, detail, and encoder settings.

The browser decoder applies supported JPEG orientation metadata before coordinates are mapped and pixels are drawn, so the crop follows the visible image orientation. Processing stays in the current browser tab and old preview URLs are released when results or source images are replaced.
