How to crop an image in 3 steps
Add the image
Drag the file (JPG, PNG or WEBP) onto the upload area or click to pick it. The image appears with a selection over it.
Adjust the selection
Drag the box to move it and use the corners to resize until it frames exactly what you want to keep.
Download the crop
Click process and download only the selected area. No copy is kept anywhere.
Why crop an image
Cropping helps you focus on what matters: removing an unwanted border, framing a face for a profile picture, isolating part of a screenshot, or removing parts that shouldn't appear.
Besides improving the framing, cropping reduces the dimensions and the file weight, since you keep only the chosen part instead of the whole image.
Visual selection, your way
The selection area is draggable: move the box to choose the region and pull the corners to grow or shrink the crop. The size in pixels is shown in real time, so you know exactly the dimension of the result.
It works with the mouse on a computer and with touch on a phone, without typing coordinates — you simply frame what you want.
You choose the output format
The crop does not inherit the original file’s format: there is a selector with PNG, JPG and WEBP, and the default is PNG. So cropping a JPG and downloading without touching the selector gives you a PNG — usually larger than the source photo, because PNG uses no lossy compression.
Pick JPG when the result is a photograph and weight matters. Pick PNG when the image has text, fine lines or a transparent background. And note: choosing JPG turns transparent areas white, because JPG has no transparency channel.
Cropping does not create resolution
The crop keeps exactly the pixels of the selected area. If you crop a small piece of a photo and then enlarge it, the image goes soft — there is no detail to recover, it was never captured.
So for a profile picture or a cover, crop from the highest-resolution file you have, not from an already-reduced version.
Nothing leaves your device
The crop is done in the browser, using your own device’s graphics engine. The image is not sent to any server.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the area?
Drag the selection box to move it and use the corners to resize. The size in pixels appears in real time.
Does the format change?
You choose. There is a selector with PNG, JPG and WEBP, and the default is PNG — regardless of the format of the file you uploaded.
Does quality drop?
It depends on the format you pick. PNG has no loss at all. JPG and WEBP use lossy compression, imperceptible in most uses.
Can I crop several times?
Yes. You can process, download and start over with another image as many times as you like.
