Image Cropper
Crop images to any ratio or freeform selection, directly in your browser.
Crop photos to any shape, instantly
Cropping is the single most common image edit, and it should not require a trip to Photoshop. This cropper lets you draw a selection on any image, pick a preset ratio, or type exact dimensions — and then download the result as a PNG.
Workflow
- Upload an image (JPEG, PNG, WebP and more all work).
- Pick a ratio — “Free” lets you drag any shape; square, 4:3 or 16:9 lock the proportions.
- Click and drag on the preview to place the crop box, or type exact pixel values.
- Click Crop, then download.
Privacy and EXIF stripping
Images are decoded and re-rendered on an HTML5 canvas. This has a useful side-effect: EXIF metadata is stripped. Location data, camera model, and date stamps embedded in the original are removed from the cropped output. If you need to share a photo without revealing its origin, cropping here is a privacy upgrade.
What the output looks like
The cropped image is always exported as PNG at full resolution. If file size matters for your use case, run the result through the Image Compressor afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
- What aspect-ratio presets are available?
- Free (no constraint), 1:1 square, 4:3, 16:9, 3:2 and 9:16 portrait. You can also enter exact pixel dimensions in the numeric fields below the preview.
- Does the cropper strip EXIF / metadata?
- Yes. Because the output is re-rendered by an HTML5 canvas, EXIF metadata, GPS location, and camera info are stripped from the result. This is often desirable for privacy — the cropped image does not expose where the original was taken.
- Can I crop multiple images at once?
- This tool crops one image at a time. For batch cropping at fixed ratios, use the Image Resizer with "Keep aspect ratio" off and specific dimensions.
