Does cropping reduce quality?

No. Cropping just takes a region out — there is no scaling and no re-encoding, so the kept area is pixel-identical to the same area of the original.

Can I crop to an exact pixel size?

Yes — type the width and height, for example 800×600. If the original is too small for that, you will be told: at that point what you want is resizing, not cropping.

Do I need an account? Is it paid?

Neither. Free, no sign-up, no usage cap, and no watermark.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Cropping runs entirely in your own browser — we never receive the file.

Crop images by ratio or by exact pixels

Cropping simply takes a region out of the picture — no scaling is involved, so no quality is lost: the kept area is pixel-identical to the same area of the original. Common ratios are buttons: 1:1 for avatars, 4:3 and 3:2 are native camera ratios, 16:9 for covers, 9:16 for vertical. You can also type exact width and height, say when you need precisely 800×600. Everything is computed in your own browser and the image is never uploaded.

No quality loss

Cropping does not re-encode; what you keep matches the original pixel for pixel.
