Need to crop an image quickly? This free crop image tool runs entirely in your browser — skip heavy desktop apps and slow server uploads. Remove edges, cut unwanted background, or turn landscape photos vertical for Stories and TikTok. Every crop image job stays on your device: nothing is sent to our servers, so you get faster results and stronger privacy for personal or confidential photos.
Click to browse or drag and drop into the tool above. Files load in memory — there is no cloud upload step. We support common formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and many others.
Drag the crop box and use zoom to frame your shot. Pick presets like 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 for social platforms, or set a custom width:height to lock the frame proportion.
Click Export to crop locally. When processing finishes, download a clean image — no site branding — ready for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or your design projects.
Traditional online croppers upload your image to a remote server. Here, cropping happens in your tab on your hardware. We do not store your photos or process them on our machines — ideal for sensitive content.
Export without logos or forced branding. Use the tool as often as you like for personal or commercial projects without a paywall for basic cropping.
Export as JPEG for smaller file sizes, PNG for lossless quality, or WebP for the best of both worlds. Choose the format that fits your workflow.
Large files are not queued on a distant server. Once you crop, your browser handles the job locally, so you get your file back immediately after processing.
Use 1:1 for classic feed posts, 4:5 for taller feed presence, and 9:16 for full-screen Reels and Stories. Reframe landscape photos so subjects stay centered in vertical frames.
TikTok expects vertical images that fill the phone. Our 9:16 preset crops widescreen photos into a tall frame — adjust the box so the subject stays in view.
16:9 suits standard YouTube thumbnails. Crop your photo to the exact frame that highlights the subject and grabs attention in search results.
Square or 4:5 often performs well in mobile feeds; 16:9 works for cover photos. Crop to the ratio that matches where you publish and how viewers see your posts.
Place important subjects near the intersections of a 3×3 grid rather than dead center for a more balanced, professional look when you crop.
Tighten the frame to cut stray objects or empty space so viewers focus on the story you want to tell.
When going from landscape to portrait, you lose side content — check that your subject stays inside the crop. Static crops work great for portraits; busy compositions may need careful positioning.
Upload the formats you already use day to day. When you crop an image, output resolution matches your selected region. For editing beyond cropping — like resizing the whole frame — try our other free image tools.

No. Exports are not branded with our logo or branding — you get a clean image you can publish as you like.
Processing runs in your browser on your device. Your file is not uploaded to our servers for cropping, and we do not retain a copy of your photos.
Often yes — fewer pixels usually mean a smaller file. Exact size depends on the format, quality setting, and how much of the frame you remove.
Yes. The page is responsive; open it in Safari or Chrome, pick an image from your gallery, and drag the crop box with touch — best on a modern mobile browser.
