Crop an Image Online

Cropping decides what a picture is actually about. It removes the distracting edge of a table, straightens a lopsided document photo, or forces a portrait into the square that a profile page demands. This tool lets you select exactly the region you want to keep and download it as a new image, leaving the original file alone.

Frequently asked questions

Does cropping reduce quality?

No. The pixels you keep stay exactly as they were. The image is simply smaller because there is less of it.

Can I crop to a specific aspect ratio?

Yes. Fixing the ratio makes it easy to produce square profile images or widescreen banners.

Is the original photo changed?

No. The file on your device stays untouched and a new cropped image is created.

Can I crop on a phone?

Yes, the tool works in mobile browsers as well as on desktop.
