Image Cropper: Crop PNG, JPG, and WebP Online
Use this Image Cropper to remove unwanted edges, reframe a subject, or prepare an image for a specific shape. Upload PNG, JPG, JPEG, or WebP files, adjust the crop box, choose an aspect ratio, and download the cropped result from your browser.
Cropping permanently removes pixels from the outside of the selected area. For the best result, crop from the largest original image you have, then resize or compress afterward if needed.
Crop Any Area
Move and resize the crop box to keep the exact part of the image you want.
Use Preset Ratios
Prepare square, portrait, widescreen, vertical, and print-friendly crops quickly.
Private Browser Workflow
The image is handled locally in your browser without uploading the file to a server.
Cropping Permanently Reduces Pixel Count
Every pixel outside the crop box is removed from the downloaded result. The output dimensions are exactly the selected crop area, not the full original image.
Keep your original high-resolution file. Crop first, then resize or compress later when you need a specific final size.
What the Image Cropper Does
The cropper keeps the selected part of an image and discards the rest. It is useful when you need to remove empty space, cut out distractions, focus on a subject, or fit a specific platform shape.
The tool keeps the output format aligned with the input format. PNG stays PNG, JPEG stays JPEG, and WebP stays WebP where the browser supports it.
How to Crop an Image Online
- Upload your PNG, JPG, JPEG, or WebP image.
- Drag the crop box to the area you want to keep.
- Choose a preset ratio or keep free cropping.
- Rotate, flip, or reset if needed.
- Check the crop dimensions.
- Download the cropped image.
Aspect Ratios for Social Media and Print
An aspect ratio controls shape, not pixel size. A 1:1 crop is square, 4:5 is tall for mobile feeds, 16:9 is widescreen, 9:16 is vertical for short-form video covers, and 2:3 is common for photo prints.
Choosing the right ratio before download helps avoid awkward automatic cropping when uploading to social media, websites, documents, or print services.
Crop for Better Composition
Cropping can improve a photo by moving the subject closer to the center of attention, removing empty space, or cutting out distracting objects near the edge. A tighter frame often makes the image read faster.
For portraits and product photos, leave enough space around the subject so the result does not feel cramped. For documents, make sure no important text is removed.
When Not to Crop
Cropping is not the same as resizing. If you need the whole image smaller, resize it instead. Cropping removes content, while resizing scales the whole image.
Do not repeatedly crop and export JPEG files if quality is critical. Each JPEG export adds another compression pass. Work from the original whenever possible.
Private Local Processing
Your image stays in the browser from upload to download. The file is not sent to a server by this tool, and closing the tab removes the working copy from memory.
That matters for family photos, client product images, screenshots with names, ID scans, and other images that may contain private information.

Image Cropper FAQ
Does cropping change the file format?
No. The cropper saves the result in the same general format as the input, such as PNG, JPG, or WebP when supported.
Why did the file size barely change after cropping?
File size depends on how many pixels remain and how the browser encodes the output. A small edge trim may not reduce size much.
Will cropping a JPEG reduce quality?
Slightly. Exporting JPEG re-encodes the file, so repeated crops can accumulate compression loss.
What is the difference between 4:5 and 16:9?
4:5 is a tall mobile-feed shape. 16:9 is a wide shape used for thumbnails, video, and website banners.
Can I crop to a specific pixel size?
The output size equals the selected crop area. For an exact final size, crop to the right shape first, then use an image resizer.
What happens if I crop most of the image away?
The output will contain fewer pixels. A very tight crop from a small source image may not have enough resolution for printing or large displays.
Is there a minimum crop size?
There is no strict content minimum, but very tiny crops create very small images that may not be useful.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
The crop workflow runs in the browser, so the image is processed locally on your device.
