Image Cropper
Crop a photo in your browser, pixel by pixel
Drag a selection over your photo or type exact pixel coordinates, lock a ratio such as 1:1 or 16:9, and download the cropped PNG, JPEG or WebP. The file is read and cropped inside your browser.
Everything on this page is processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
What this tool does
Cropping is the one edit almost every image needs and the one most people open a whole photo editor for. This tool does it with a canvas: your file is decoded in the page, you drag the area you want to keep, and the pixels inside that box are drawn to a new image you can download. The numeric fields exist because a drag is never exact — when a layout needs a 1200 x 630 share image, you type it. Ratio presets keep the box locked to 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 or 9:16 while you drag, and the box is centred on what you were already looking at when you switch.
How to use it
- Choose an image from your device.
- Drag on the picture to select the area to keep, or type the left, top, width and height in pixels.
- Pick an output format and press Crop, then download the result.
Privacy
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, stored or shared — closing the tab removes it.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
- No. The file is decoded and cropped by your own browser, and the cropped copy is created as a local download. Nothing is sent to a server, so nothing can be stored on one.
- Does cropping reduce the quality?
- Cropping to PNG keeps the pixels exactly as they were. JPEG and WebP are re-encoded, so the quality slider matters there; leave it high if the image will be edited again later.
- Why does JPEG turn my transparent background white?
- JPEG has no transparency. The tool fills the background with white before drawing, which is better than the black you would otherwise get. Choose PNG or WebP to keep transparency.
