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

1. Upload the image.
2. Pick a preset aspect ratio or drag freely.
3. Reposition the crop box; the tool shows live pixel dimensions as you adjust.
4. Rotate slightly first if the horizon or subject is tilted.
5. 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.
