Crop an image — exactly the section you need
Load a picture, drag the selection frame freely or with a fixed aspect ratio over the area you want, and export the section — pixel-exact, without scaling. Everything happens locally in your browser: your photo is never uploaded, which is the decisive difference from cloud editors, especially for private pictures.
Why fixed aspect ratios?
Platforms expect specific formats — cropping beforehand keeps you in control of the framing instead of leaving it to an automatic mask:
- 1:1 — square feeds, profile pictures, product tiles.
- 4:5 — portrait posts: Instagram renders them at up to 1080 × 1350 pixels, more feed area than any other format.
- 16:9 — video thumbnails, presentations, headers.
- 3:4 / free — classic photo formats or arbitrary sections.
Does cropping lose quality?
The selected area is taken over pixel for pixel — nothing is interpolated or scaled. Only saving applies the usual format compression: JPG and WebP encode lossily (invisible at high quality), PNG stays lossless. When every pixel counts, export as PNG.
Honest limits
Cropping removes image content from the exported file for good — the original on your device stays untouched, of course. Re-encoding drops EXIF metadata (including the GPS position — usually a privacy win). And very large images above ~16.7 megapixels are scaled to the safe canvas limit before editing; the tool tells you when that happens.
