Crop images to your desired dimensions with precision.
An image cropper tool allows you to select and extract specific portions of images with pixel-perfect precision. Remove unwanted areas, focus on important subjects, adjust composition, and create custom image dimensions without uploading to external sites. Perfect for social media, profile pictures, thumbnails, and creative projects, this online tool processes images directly in your browser for privacy and speed.
Image cropping removes unwanted portions while keeping the selected area intact. Key aspects include:
Social Media Optimization: Adjust images to platform-specific aspect ratios (Instagram square 1:1, Facebook cover 16:9, Twitter profile 400x400).
Profile Pictures: Crop photos to face-focused, square 1:1 ratio for professional profiles, avatars, and social media accounts.
Thumbnail Creation: Extract key moments from videos or important portions from images for YouTube thumbnails and web previews.
Document Scanning: Remove borders and unwanted areas from scanned documents to improve readability and focus on content.
Product Photography: Remove backgrounds, crop to product-only views, and optimize e-commerce product images.
Web Optimization: Resize images to specific dimensions required by web layouts without distortion.
Art Projects: Adjust composition, remove distracting elements, and focus viewers on important subjects.
Screenshot Processing: Crop screenshots to show only relevant portions and reduce file size.

X Position: Measured in pixels from left edge. X=0 starts at far left. X=100 means crop starts 100 pixels from left.
Y Position: Measured in pixels from top edge. Y=0 starts at top. Y=50 means crop starts 50 pixels down from top.
Width: Total horizontal pixels to include. Width=500 includes 500 pixels across.
Height: Total vertical pixels to include. Height=300 includes 300 pixels vertically.
Example: X=10, Y=10, Width=500, Height=300 crops a 500x300 area starting 10 pixels from left and top edges.
No. Cropping simply removes pixels; it doesn't compress or degrade remaining pixels. The cropped image maintains original quality and resolution. However, if original image is low resolution, the smaller cropped version may appear pixelated if further enlarged.
This tool supports all common image formats: JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP, and others. The cropped image is exported in the format you select or the original format.
Yes. Instagram posts use 1:1 square ratio (recommend 1080x1080px). Set crop width and height to equal values for perfect squares. For Instagram stories, use 9:16 ratio (1080x1920px).
