How to use Crop Image
Crop photos in your browser, freely or to a fixed ratio such as 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 or 16:9, with presets for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, X and Facebook. Type exact pixel values when you need precision, and crop a batch with a separate box for each image.

Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded?
No. Cropping happens in your browser, and your images never leave your device.
How do I crop many photos to the same ratio?
Add all the images and pick a ratio. Each one gets the largest centered crop of that ratio; click a thumbnail to adjust its box, which is remembered per image. Choosing a different ratio re-centers every image.
How do I get an exact size like 1080 × 1350 for Instagram?
Pick 4:5 Instagram portrait, then turn on Resize to exact size. Output width is set to 1080 px and the height follows the ratio, so every crop comes out at 1080 × 1350.
Can I move the crop box precisely?
Yes. Click the box and use the arrow keys to nudge it by 1 px, or Shift + arrow for 10 px. The Selection fields use the original image's pixels, not the preview's.
Can I crop to a circle or add empty space around the image?
No. The crop box is rectangular and stays inside the image. Use Shape Crop for circles and other shapes, or Square Image to place a picture on a larger square canvas.
Does cropping reduce quality?
The cropped area is copied pixel for pixel, but the file is re-encoded. PNG output is lossless; for JPG and WebP keep Quality high (the default is 90). An Output width larger than the crop enlarges it and makes it softer.
