Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Your image is decoded and cropped entirely in your browser using a canvas. The file never leaves your device and is never uploaded or stored anywhere.

Does cropping reduce the image quality?

No. Cropping simply keeps the pixels inside the selected rectangle and discards the rest, so the kept area is pixel-perfect. PNG output stays lossless and JPEG output is re-saved at high quality.

Can I crop to a fixed aspect ratio?

Yes. Pick a ratio such as 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:2 or 2:3, and the crop box height is locked to match the width automatically. Choose Free to crop to any size you like.

How to crop an image online

Add your image — drag and drop it onto the box, click to browse, or paste it from your clipboard. It is decoded instantly on your device.
Choose an aspect ratio — leave it on Free to crop to any shape, or lock the box to 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:2 or 2:3 for profile pictures, thumbnails, banners and prints.
Position the crop box — click or drag directly on the preview to move it, or type exact X, Y, Width and Height values for pixel-precise control. The shaded overlay and rule-of-thirds guides show exactly what will be kept.
Crop and download — click Crop & download to save just the selected region to your device.

Pick the right aspect ratio

The aspect ratio is the relationship between an image's width and its height. Many platforms expect a specific shape, and cropping to the right one stops your picture from being squashed or awkwardly auto-cropped later. A 1:1 square suits avatars and most social profile photos. 16:9 is the standard for video thumbnails, slides and widescreen banners, while 4:3 and 3:2 match classic camera and print sizes. Choose 2:3 for tall portrait shots. When a ratio is locked, the height follows the width automatically, so the box always keeps the correct proportions as you move it.

Cropping changes the visible area, not the resolution of what remains — the kept pixels are untouched. If you also need to change the pixel dimensions or file size afterwards, try theimage resizer or the image compressor. Need to rotate or mirror first? Use rotate & flip image.

Is it private?

Yes. This tool decodes your photo with the browser's built-in createImageBitmap API and redraws the cropped region on an HTML <canvas> entirely on your own device. Your image isnever uploaded to any server, never stored, and never seen by anyone — which makes it safe for screenshots, ID photos, private snapshots and confidential documents. Once the page has loaded you can even crop while offline.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No — it is processed locally in your browser on a canvas and never leaves your device.

Does cropping lower the quality?

No. Cropping keeps the pixels inside your selected rectangle exactly as they are. PNGs stay lossless and JPEGs are re-saved at high quality.

What file format do I get back?

The original format is kept for JPG, PNG and WebP. Other formats (such as GIF or BMP) are downloaded as a JPG.

Can I enter exact pixel coordinates?

Yes. Type the X, Y, Width and Height values to crop to an exact region, or just click and drag on the preview for a quick visual crop.
