Image Cropper
The Image Cropper trims an image to a selected region entirely in your browser. Drag the crop box (or lock it to a ratio like 1:1 or 16:9), pick the output format, and download. Nothing is uploaded — the crop runs locally on your device.
Need just part of an image, or a clean square for an avatar? This cropper lets you drag a selection over your image — freely or locked to a common aspect ratio — and export exactly that region, right in the browser, so the file never leaves your device.
How to use the Image Cropper
- Drop an image in, or click to choose one from your device.
- Drag the crop box and its handles to frame the region; optionally lock an aspect ratio (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:2).
- Pick the output format, click Crop, and download the result.
Common use cases
- Make a square profile picture or avatar from a larger photo.
- Trim out whitespace, borders or unwanted edges from a screenshot.
- Crop to 16:9 or 4:3 for a thumbnail, slide or banner.
Tips
- Lock an aspect ratio before dragging so the crop stays perfectly proportioned for avatars or thumbnails.
- Cropping is lossless for PNG — the output keeps the exact pixels inside your selection.
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded to crop it? +
No. The crop happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — your image never leaves your device and nothing is sent to a server.
Can I crop to an exact aspect ratio? +
Yes. Choose a ratio (1:1, 4:3, 16:9 or 3:2) and the crop box keeps that proportion as you drag; pick Free for any shape.
Does cropping reduce quality? +
No — cropping just keeps the pixels inside your selection. Export as PNG to stay lossless, or JPEG/WebP if you also want a smaller file.
