Everything happens in your browser. Your image is never uploaded or stored. The saved file carries no EXIF data from the original — no capture date, GPS location or camera details.

How to use

Keeps only the part of a photo you need. Set the left and top offsets and the width and height by number, or use the ratio buttons to centre a 1:1 or 16:9 selection. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

When to use it

  • Making a square (1:1) profile picture.
  • Trimming a screenshot down to the part that matters.
  • Cutting the desk and background out of a photographed document.

How to use it

  1. Choose a photo. Up to 30MB and 12,000px per side.
  2. Use centre by ratio for a quick selection, or type the left, top, width and height yourself.
  3. Watch the preview. Values that fall outside the image are pulled back inside automatically.
  4. Pick an output format and press Download.

Good to know

  • Cropping does not reduce quality — the remaining pixels are used as they are (apart from JPG re-compression on save).
  • What you cut away is gone, so save as a new file and keep the original.
  • The saved file carries no EXIF from the original (date, location, camera).
  • Out-of-range values are clamped, and the numbers on screen are exactly what gets saved.
  • An animated GIF keeps only its first frame.

Frequently asked questions

Can I drag a selection with the mouse?

Selection is by numbers and ratio buttons. Numbers let you crop many photos to exactly the same size — handy for ID photos or product shots where consistency matters.

I want a perfect square.

Press 1:1 under centre by ratio and the largest centred square is selected. Then nudge the left and top values to frame it where you want.

The cropped photo looks blurry.

A tiny crop viewed large simply has few pixels in it. Cropping itself loses no quality; if you need a small area at a big size, start from a larger original.

Can I crop several photos identically?

Type the same numbers. As long as the originals share a size, the same values describe the same area, so note them down and reuse them.
