Crop away what does not belong
Cropping removes the edges of a picture: the table around a photographed document, the stranger at the side of a group photo, or the empty sky above a product. It is also how you change an image's shape, from landscape to square for a profile picture or to widescreen for a video thumbnail, without stretching anything.
Using the cropper
- Load a JPG, PNG or WebP image.
- Pick an aspect ratio, or leave it on Freeform.
- Drag across the image to draw the crop area. With a fixed ratio, the selection keeps that shape as you drag.
- Check the cropped result preview, then download it.
Which aspect ratio?
| Ratio | Common uses |
|---|---|
| 1:1 | Profile pictures, Instagram posts, product thumbnails, app icons |
| 4:3 | Classic photo prints, presentations, most phone camera photos |
| 16:9 | Video thumbnails, website hero banners, widescreen slides |
| Freeform | Documents, receipts, screenshots, anything with no set shape |
Tips for better crops
- Leave a little breathing room. A crop tight to the edge of a face or object feels cramped. Keep a small margin.
- Use the rule of thirds. Placing the subject a third of the way in, rather than dead centre, often looks more natural.
- Crop before you resize. Cropping keeps full resolution; then use the Image Resizer to hit exact pixel dimensions.
- Documents: crop right to the paper's edge so the page fills the frame, then add it to a PDF with JPG to PDF.
The cropped image is saved in the same format as the original, at full resolution for the selected area. Nothing is uploaded.
