Crop Images Online For Free
Cropping sounds trivial until you’re trying to do it precisely — cutting to an exact pixel ratio for a listing, or removing a sliver of background without eyeballing it. This tool gives you a draggable crop box with live dimension readouts, plus locked aspect ratios for the sizes people actually need (1:1, 4:5, 16:9, and custom).
Why local processing matters here: a lot of cropping happens on ID photos, receipts, or screenshots with sensitive info still visible outside the frame — the moment before you crop is often the moment the whole, uncropped image would otherwise sit on someone else’s server.
How to use it
- Upload the image.
- Pick a preset aspect ratio or drag freely.
- Reposition the crop box; the tool shows live pixel dimensions as you adjust.
- Rotate slightly first if the horizon or subject is tilted.
- Confirm and export in your chosen format.
Common situations this solves
- Cutting a screenshot down to just the relevant part before sharing
- Getting a profile photo to an exact square or platform-required ratio
- Removing a visible name, address, or account number sitting outside the subject
- Trimming a scanned document down to just the page content
- Preparing a thumbnail crop from a larger photo
FAQ
Can I crop to an exact pixel size, not just a ratio?
Yes — enter exact width and height and the crop box will snap to it.
Does cropping remove EXIF data?
Not automatically — if you specifically need metadata stripped (GPS tags, camera info), run the result through Bare — metadata stripper afterward.
What if I need a circular crop instead of rectangular?
Use Crop circle, a separate tool built specifically for that shape.
Can I undo and try a different crop?
Yes, nothing is committed until you export — you can adjust the box freely before finalizing.
Will cropping change the file format?
No, it keeps your original format unless you choose to convert it during export.
