What This Tool Does

This free image cropper lets you cut out a specific part of an image and discard the rest. It's handy for removing unwanted edges, tightening up the composition of a photo, creating a square profile picture, or focusing on a single subject within a larger image.

Everything runs entirely inside your browser. Your images are never uploaded to a server, so your files stay private and the cropping happens instantly, even offline.

Cropping vs. Resizing

Cropping cuts away part of an image, keeping only the area you select and changing what the image shows. Resizing keeps the whole image but scales it to different pixel dimensions. If your goal is to remove parts of a picture or change its composition, crop it. If you want to keep everything but make it bigger or smaller, resize it.

The two work well together: crop to the part you want, then use the Image Resize tool to set exact dimensions, and a compressor like JPEG or PNG to shrink the final file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does cropping reduce image quality?

No. Cropping simply keeps the pixels inside your selection and removes the rest, so the part you keep stays at its original quality.

How do I crop to a square for a profile picture?

Drag a selection box that's roughly equal in width and height — the pixel dimensions shown below the image help you match them. Then crop and download.

What's the difference between cropping and resizing?

Cropping removes part of the image and changes what it shows. Resizing keeps the whole image but changes its pixel dimensions. You can use both together.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All cropping happens locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device, which keeps them completely private.
