Cropping down to the pixels you want
Cropping is half the work of getting a usable image: trimming empty space off a photo, cutting the chrome out of a screenshot, squaring a logo for an avatar slot. You draw a selection on the image and adjust it, and the tool keeps the exact pixels inside it.
Working the selection
- Click and drag on the image to draw a crop rectangle.
- Drag a corner handle to resize from that corner, or drag inside the rectangle to move the whole thing.
- Click outside the rectangle to throw it away and start a fresh selection.
Lock an aspect ratio and both directions of a resize hold it, with the opposite corner pinned as you drag. The interaction runs on Pointer Events, so a finger on a phone gets the same corner-handle precision as a mouse. The editor shrinks the image to fit your screen, then converts your selection back to full-resolution pixels at download, so a crop of a 4000 by 3000 photo comes out at full resolution rather than the on-screen size.
The aspect-ratio presets
The presets cover the frames that come up most: 1:1 for profile pictures and album art, 4:3 for older video and slides, 16:9 for modern video, 3:2 for photo prints. Free mode crops to any rectangle, which is the right pick when the target size is unusual or you are cutting out specific content rather than filling a standard frame.
A few practical questions
- Can I crop to a circle?
- Not directly, because PNG and JPG both store rectangular pixel grids. Crop to a square here, then round the corners with a CSS border-radius or a mask in a graphics editor.
- Does cropping lose quality?
- A PNG crop is lossless: the selected pixels copy straight into the new file. A JPG crop re-encodes once at high quality (0.95), a single generation of compression you will not spot in most photos. Neither path resamples the pixels.
- What format does the crop download in?
- JPG in, JPG out, with any transparency filled white. Everything else, including WebP, downloads as PNG, which keeps transparency intact.
- Can I crop a batch at once?
- One image at a time here. For the same crop across many files, a scripting tool like ImageMagick fits better.
