Image Cropper
Drag a box over the part of the picture you want to keep, then cut away the rest.
What This Tool Does
Cropping removes everything outside a rectangle you draw on the picture, leaving only the region you selected. It's useful for cutting out a subject, removing unwanted edges, or changing an image's proportions.
Steps to Crop a Picture
- Load a picture into the box above
- Click and drag directly on the picture to draw a selection rectangle
- Adjust the box by drawing a new one if needed
- Click Crop, then Download the cropped result
What You Can Control
- Freeform drag-to-select cropping directly on the picture
- A live readout of the selected width and height in pixels
- Redraw the selection as many times as you like before cropping
- No part of the image leaves your browser tab
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I crop to an exact aspect ratio like 1:1?
This tool uses a freeform rectangle rather than fixed ratio presets, so you draw the box by hand and can approximate a square or any other shape by watching the width and height readout.
What happens if my selection is too small?
Selections under 5 by 5 pixels are ignored so you don't accidentally crop away the entire picture.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No. The kept pixels are copied exactly as they were, with no re-compression beyond the export format you already had.
Can I undo a crop?
Click Start Over to reload the original file and begin again with a fresh selection.
Does this work on a touchscreen?
The selection is driven by mouse drag events, so a trackpad or mouse gives the most precise control. Touch support depends on your browser.
