Crop Image
Crop photos to exactly the part you want — freehand, to a fixed ratio or to an exact pixel size for Instagram, YouTube and more — and rotate, flip or straighten them on the way. Full quality, no upload.
At a glance
- Crop freehand or to a fixed ratio — 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16, the photo’s own ratio or a custom one.
- Ready-made sizes for Instagram (1080×1080, 1080×1350, stories 1080×1920), YouTube thumbnails (1280×720), X and LinkedIn headers, Facebook covers and profile pictures.
- Type exact X, Y, width and height in pixels, and optionally resize the result to any width and height.
- Rotate by 90°, flip, and straighten tilted photos by up to 45° — the crop automatically fits inside the photo so no empty corners show.
- Circle crop for profile pictures, with a transparent background in PNG and WebP.
- Saves at full resolution as JPG, PNG or WebP (HEIC opens too). The image is processed in your browser and never uploaded.

Cropping tips
- Use the rule-of-thirds grid: place eyes, horizons and key details on the lines rather than dead centre.
- Leave a little space in the direction a person is looking or moving.
- Crop before resizing — cropping a large original keeps more detail than cropping a small copy.
- For profile pictures, centre the face in a square crop: most apps show it as a circle.
