Image Cropper Reference & Specifications

The Image Cropper cuts away the parts of a photo or graphic you do not need. Whether you are editing out a distraction, squaring an image for a profile picture, or isolating a subject, cropping is the fastest way to remove unwanted edges without changing the rest of the file.

The tool renders your image on a canvas and lets you select the region to keep, then exports the cropped area as a PNG you can download in one step.

2. Adjust the crop selection to frame what you want to keep.
3. Download the cropped PNG.

Frequently Asked Questions

What file formats can I crop?

Any image your browser can decode, including JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and GIF (first frame). The export is always PNG.

Can I set an exact aspect ratio?

Use the resize tool to get a specific dimension, or crop freely here - the selection is free-form on the canvas.
