About Image Cropper

Image Cropper trims JPG / PNG / GIF images to any rectangle you choose. Drag on the preview to set the crop area visually, or type exact X / Y / width / height to dial it in.

Aspect ratio presets cover "Free", "1:1", "16:9", "4:3", and "3:2", which is handy for social thumbnails, headers, or print padding. JPG input produces JPG output, while PNG and GIF inputs produce PNG output. For GIFs, only the first frame is cropped and saved as PNG.

All images are processed entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server. Work confidently with confidential assets or personal photos. Runs entirely in your browser.

How to use

  1. Drop a JPG / PNG / GIF file into the dropzone, or click to pick one.
  2. Choose an aspect ratio preset (Free / 1:1 / 16:9 / 4:3 / 3:2).
  3. Drag or resize the rectangle on the preview to set the crop area. Use the X / Y / width / height inputs for fine adjustments.
  4. Click "Run crop" to render the cropped image in the preview.
  5. Click "Download" to save the cropped image to your device.

Use cases

  • Social media managers normalizing X / Instagram / YouTube thumbnails and headers to a fixed aspect.
  • Individuals cropping a 1:1 avatar for profiles and icons.
  • Operators standardizing product images for an e-commerce site.
  • Business users trimming away padding or extra subjects before placing an image into slides or docs.

Notes

  • Maximum 50 MB per file.
  • Supported formats are JPG / PNG / GIF only (HEIC, WebP, SVG are not supported).
  • For GIF input, only frame 1 is cropped and exported as PNG — animation is not preserved.
  • Output format follows the input: JPG → JPG, PNG / GIF → PNG.
  • JPG output quality is fixed at 95. Use "Image Compressor" afterwards if you need a smaller JPG.

FAQ

Are images uploaded to a server?
No. Cropping happens entirely in your browser, so confidential assets or personal photos are safe to use here.
Can I crop an animated GIF while keeping the animation?
Animated cropping is not supported. GIF input has only the first frame cropped and exported as PNG.
How do I lock the aspect ratio?
Pick a preset (1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2) and the rectangle is constrained to that ratio while dragging. Choose "Free" for any aspect ratio.
Can I specify the crop in pixels?
Yes — X / Y / width / height inputs appear under the preview and accept pixel values based on the original resolution, useful for precise print trimming.
Can I change the output format?
The output format is fixed by the input (JPG → JPG, PNG / GIF → PNG). Use "WebP Converter" or another tool afterwards if you need a different format.
