The image cropper trims a photo to exactly the part you want. Drag the frame to choose the area, or lock it to a common shape: square for profile pictures, 4:5 for Instagram portraits, 16:9 for YouTube and presentations, or 9:16 for stories and reels. Tick “Circle crop” for round profile images with transparent corners. Your image is cropped on your own device.

After cropping, use the image resizer to hit an exact pixel size, or the background remover to cut out the subject.
Frequently asked questions
Does cropping reduce quality?
No. Cropping keeps the original pixels in the area you choose; it only removes the rest. JPG files are saved again at high quality.
How do I crop a picture into a circle?
Choose 1:1 so the frame is square, position it, tick “Circle crop” and download. The result is a PNG with transparent corners.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Cropping happens in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
