Image Cropper

Drop your image onto the tool or click to browse, then drag the selection box to frame the part you want to keep. Drag inside the box to move it, or drag a corner to resize. When it looks right, click "Download crop" to save just the selected area — the rest of the photo is discarded.

Set the aspect ratio to "Square (1:1)" in the settings. The selection box then locks to a perfect square that you can move and resize while keeping equal sides, so your avatar comes out square every time. Most profile pictures on social networks are square, so this is the safest choice for a headshot or logo.

Yes. Pick the ratio you need from the aspect-ratio menu — 1:1, 3:2, 4:3, 16:9 and their portrait versions are all there — and the crop box keeps that exact proportion as you resize it. Choose "Free" if you want to crop to any shape without a fixed ratio. This is handy for video thumbnails (16:9), prints (3:2) or social banners.

Cropping itself is lossless — it simply keeps a rectangle of the original pixels at full resolution, so the part you keep looks exactly as sharp as the source. The only quality trade-off comes from re-encoding: exporting as JPEG or WebP applies compression, so keep the quality slider at 80% or higher, or export as PNG for a lossless result.

Yes to all three. It is completely free with no sign-up, and the cropping runs entirely in your browser with the Canvas API, so your images are never uploaded — that is why we can say your files never leave your device. The re-encode also removes EXIF metadata such as GPS coordinates. Once the page has loaded you can disconnect from the internet and keep cropping, because there are no network calls involved.
