Free Online Image Cropper

Open a picture, choose the shape and the area, and save the cropped picture. You can also turn it and flip it. Nothing is uploaded. It gives developers a quick browser-based way to solve a focused image cropper task before moving the result into a project.

How to crop a picture

Open a picture, choose a shape (or leave it free), set the left, top, width and height of the area to keep, and press Download. The small preview shows exactly what you will get.

For passport or ID photos choose the 35:45 shape, then use the Image Resizer to set the final size.

Common mistakes

  • Saving a photo as PNG when the file must be small: JPEG or WebP files are much smaller.
  • Rotating after setting the crop: the crop area is reset to the whole picture when you rotate or flip.

Frequently asked questions

Is my picture uploaded?
No. The picture is opened and cropped in your browser and the result is saved straight to your device.
How do I crop to an exact size?
Choose "Free", then type the width and height in pixels. To keep a shape such as 16:9, pick it from "Shape" and change the width: the height follows.
Which format should I save as?
PNG keeps every pixel and transparency. JPEG gives small files for photos. WebP is smaller than both in most cases and works in all current browsers.
Can I resize as well?
Cropping cuts away the edges and keeps the pixel size of what remains. To change the size use the Image Resizer.
How do I use this image cropper tool?
Use the interactive controls above; processing stays in your browser and the result is intended as a practical starting point for development work.
