This crop image tool cuts your picture down to exactly what should stay in it. Drag a selection on the live preview, or type exact pixel values when precision matters, then download.
The crop runs in your browser — the original photo never leaves your device, and everything outside your selection is simply not saved.

How to Crop an Image — 3 Steps

- Drag a rectangle on the preview, or fine-tune the X, Y, width and height fields for exact pixel values.
- Press the blue Crop Image button and download the cropped file.
Cropping as the Strongest Simple Edit
Cropping does more for most photos than any filter: it removes the distraction, fixes composition, and turns a casual snapshot into a deliberate picture. The practical uses are endless — squaring a product shot for a marketplace, trimming a screenshot down to the relevant panel, cutting a document scan to the page, pulling a square avatar out of a group photo, removing a passerby from the edge of a frame.
This tool gives you two ways to define the cut, because they serve different moods. Dragging on the preview is fast and visual — see the region, grab it, done. Exact numeric entry (X and Y for the top-left corner, width and height for the size) is for the cases where pixels are contractual: a platform demanding a 1200×628 header, two screenshots that must align, a repeating crop across a batch. Both paths write to the same selection, so you can drag roughly and then correct the numbers.
What you get back is a pixel copy of the selected region at original quality — no resampling, no recompression surprises, no format conversion. A crop from a JPG saves as JPG, from a PNG as PNG with transparency intact. The discarded area is gone from the output but never from your original file, which stays untouched on your device.
The whole operation runs locally: the preview is drawn by your browser, the selection lives in its memory, and the output is generated and downloaded without any server round-trip. Crop the private screenshot, the ID scan, the client photo — none of it travels anywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Type the width and height directly into the fields, then position the selection with X and Y. The preview shows exactly what will be cut.
No — the selected region is copied at original quality. You lose pixels you removed, but kept pixels are untouched.
Yes — PNG crops stay PNG with their alpha channel, so cut-outs keep transparent areas.
Never — the tool reads your file and saves a new cropped copy. The original on your device is untouched.
Yes — drag works with touch, and the numeric fields let you be precise without precise fingers.
No. The preview and the crop both run in your browser — nothing is transmitted.
