How to crop an image online

  1. Add your image. Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF or BMP into the box, paste it with Ctrl+V, or browse for it.
  2. Choose the shape. Pick a ratio such as 1:1 or 16:9, a size preset for Instagram or YouTube, or crop freely. Circle and rounded shapes are there too.
  3. Adjust the crop. Drag the box and its handles, type exact pixels, rotate, flip or straighten the photo.
  4. Download. Pick JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF and press Download. Several images come as one ZIP.

Want the whole picture at a new size instead? The Image Resizer changes the size without cutting anything off.

Crop a picture into a circle

  • Choose Circle under Shape - the ratio switches to 1:1.
  • Save as PNG or WebP for see-through corners, ready for profile pictures and logos.
  • Need it as an icon? Turn the circle into a favicon with PNG to Favicon, or into an ICO with Image to ICO.

Tips for a better crop

  • Use the grid. Put the subject where the lines cross - the rule of thirds looks more natural than dead centre.
  • Straighten first, then crop - a level horizon makes any photo look better.
  • Cropped too tight? If the crop is smaller than the output size, enlarge it cleanly with the Image Upscaler.
  • Screenshots and scans: Trim borders cuts away even white or black edges in one click.
