Crop images by ratio or by exact pixels
Drag a box and it is cropped. Ratios and pixels both work. Local, nothing uploaded.
Cropping looks like the simplest step and shapes the result more than any other: what you cut decides what someone sees first. And every platform wants its own proportions — square for avatars, wide for covers, 4:3 for print — so one picture usually has to become several.
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. The download is a lossless PNG; if the original was a JPG the file may come out larger, but not a single pixel changes. A centred box covering 80% is there as soon as the image lands — drag its corners to resize, drag the middle to move it. The “Ratio” dropdown offers Free, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9 and 9:16: 1:1 for avatars, 4:3 and 3:4 for everyday photos, 16:9 for covers, 9:16 for vertical. You can also type pixels into X, Y, W and H, say when you need precisely 800×600. Everything is computed in your own browser and the image is never uploaded.
Key features
One-click ratios
“Ratio” dropdown: 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16 — pick one and the box locks to it; the default is Free.
Or exact pixels
Need precisely 800×600? Type the numbers instead of eyeballing it.
No quality loss
Cropping does not re-encode; what you keep matches the original pixel for pixel.
Runs locally
The image is never uploaded. Close the tab and nothing is left.

FAQ
- Does cropping reduce quality?
- No. Cropping just takes a region out — there is no scaling, so the kept area is pixel-identical to the same area of the original. The download is a lossless PNG: if the original was a JPG the file may be larger, but not a single pixel has changed.
- Can I crop to an exact pixel size?
- Yes — leave “Ratio” on “Free”, first set X and Y to 0 to fix the starting corner, then type 800×600 into W and H. The box never goes past the original: if the image is too small, the box simply stops at its edge with no separate warning — 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.
