⚡ Try with a sample photo
Crop any photo to the exact frame you want — freeform or locked to a ratio. No uploads, no signup, no watermark. Drag the handles, watch the live preview, and export a clean image ready for the destination you have in mind. The whole thing runs in your browser, so your photos stay on your device.
Why crop in your browser?
Server-based croppers re-encode your image on their end, which costs a small amount of quality every time and sends the original off your device. This tool crops using the original pixels in place — you pick the rectangle, the result is a clean cut of the same bit-depth image, and nothing gets uploaded. That matters if you're editing personal photos, internal screenshots, or anything you'd rather not ship to a third party.
Freeform crop vs fixed ratio
Freeform lets you drag any rectangle. Fixed-ratio locks the crop to a specific shape — 1:1 for a profile picture, 4:5 for an Instagram portrait, 16:9 for a YouTube thumbnail, 9:16 for a story or reel. Fixed-ratio is the one to use whenever the destination has a known shape, because it guarantees you won't upload a photo that gets re-cropped by the platform in a way you don't like.
Crop, then resize, then compress
A clean image-prep workflow is crop → resize → compress. Crop frames the shot. Resize hits the target pixel dimensions. Compress shrinks the file for upload. Doing them in that order gives the smallest file for a given visible quality, because you're never compressing pixels you were about to throw away. All three tools run locally and chain cleanly.
Common ways people use it
Profile pictures
Lock to 1:1, drag the frame over the face you want, export a clean square for LinkedIn, Slack, or a team page.
YouTube and blog thumbnails
Lock to 16:9, grab the dramatic part of the photo, export at 1920x1080 ready for upload.
Instagram portrait and story
4:5 for a portrait in-feed post, 9:16 for a story or reel. The preview shows exactly what Instagram will show.
Remove distracting edges
Tight crops make almost any phone photo look better — cut out the cluttered background and the subject pops.
