Why crop an image
Cropping is the quickest way to improve a photo. You can cut out distracting edges, center the subject, tighten the composition, or fit the picture into a specific shape. To crop images here, choose a shape and set the size and position of the crop box, and everything outside it is removed.
The cropper runs entirely in your browser. Your image is never uploaded, it's free, and there's no limit or sign-up.
Original shape or fixed ratio
- Original keeps your photo's proportions while you zoom in on part of it. It's best for removing clutter around the edges or zooming in on one detail.
- Fixed ratio keeps the crop box at a set shape. Use a square for profile pictures and many social posts, a widescreen ratio for banners and video thumbnails, or a tall ratio for phone wallpapers and stories.
Tips for a better crop
- Leave some room. Cropping too tightly around a face or product can feel cramped. A little space around the subject usually looks better.
- Use the rule of thirds. Placing the subject slightly off-center often makes a more interesting picture.
- Watch the resolution. Every crop throws away pixels. If the cropped image looks small or soft, send it to the Image Upscaler.
Crop, resize or extend?
Cropping removes part of the picture. Resizing changes the dimensions of the whole picture without removing anything. And if you need a different shape but don't want to lose any of the photo, the AI Image Extender adds new content around the edges instead.
These often work together. To prepare a photo for a profile picture, crop it to a square around the face, resize it to the size the site asks for, and compress it if the file is still too large. All three run in your browser, so the whole chain stays on your device.
