Image Cropper

Cropping removes everything outside a rectangle you draw on the image, keeping only that region as a new, smaller file. Drag anywhere on the preview to define the selection box — the corners snap to wherever you release the mouse, so you can redraw the rectangle as many times as needed before committing. The crop coordinates are tracked as percentages of the image's dimensions rather than fixed pixels, so the selection box stays accurate whether the source image is a tiny thumbnail or a multi-megapixel photo.

When you click Crop, the tool reads the selection back against the image's natural (full-resolution) width and height, not the scaled-down preview size, and draws just that region onto a canvas sized to match. That distinction matters: cropping doesn't resample or resize the retained pixels, it only discards the ones outside your rectangle, so image quality inside the crop is preserved exactly as it was in the source file.

The result downloads as a PNG regardless of the input format, which keeps transparency intact if the source had any and avoids introducing any new compression artifacts into the cropped region.

Cropping discards pixels outside the selection. It does not resample the remaining pixels, so the cropped region keeps the original sharpness, but the file has fewer pixels overall.

Common aspect ratios are 1:1 for avatars, 16:9 for video thumbnails and 4:5 for portrait social posts. Crop first and resize afterwards to keep as much detail as possible.
