  3. Click Crop image.

  4. Download the cropped result.

About this tool

The cropper shows your image with a draggable, resizable selection rectangle, and mirrors the selection in numeric fields (X, Y, width, height) for pixel-precise work. Cropping is lossless in the sense that pixels inside the selection are copied unchanged; PNG output stays lossless and JPG/WebP are re-encoded at high quality. This is useful for removing surrounding clutter from screenshots, trimming photos for avatars, or isolating one part of a larger graphic.

Because the numeric fields stay in sync with the visual drag handles, you can rough in the area you want by eye and then fine-tune it to the exact pixel if precision matters — for example matching a specific aspect ratio required by a profile photo upload.

Common ways people use this

  • Trimming an unwanted border or surrounding clutter from a screenshot
  • Cropping a photo into a square or specific ratio for a profile picture
  • Isolating one section of a larger graphic or diagram to share separately

Tips for better results

  • Drag the selection roughly into place first, then fine-tune with the numeric X/Y/width/height fields for pixel-perfect results.
  • If you need a specific aspect ratio (like a square), calculate the width and height first and type them directly into the fields.

Frequently asked questions

Can I crop to exact pixel coordinates?
Yes. The numeric fields accept exact X, Y, width and height values and stay in sync with the visual selection box.
Does cropping reduce quality?
The selected pixels are copied as-is. PNG output is lossless; JPG and WebP output are re-encoded once at high quality, which is visually negligible.
Is the photo uploaded for cropping?
No. The preview and the crop both happen in your browser.
Can I crop to a specific aspect ratio like a square or 16:9?
Yes — calculate the width and height you need for that ratio and enter them directly into the numeric fields, or resize the selection box by eye.
What happens if my selection goes past the edge of the image?
The selection is automatically constrained to stay within the image bounds, so you can't accidentally crop outside the actual picture.
