Frequently Asked Questions

How do I crop an image online?

Upload your image by clicking the upload area or drag-and-drop, then select the crop area by clicking and dragging on the image. You can also choose preset aspect ratios for common sizes like Instagram square (1:1), Facebook cover (about 2.7:1), YouTube thumbnail (16:9), or portrait (4:5). Adjust your selection using the handles, then click Crop Image to generate your cropped result.

What image formats can I crop?

This tool supports all common image formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and SVG. You can also export your cropped image in PNG, JPEG, or WebP format depending on your needs.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No, your images are processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No image data is sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy and faster processing.

How do I crop a photo to an exact size, like 1080 by 1350 for Instagram?

Choose it under Output Size: Instagram square or portrait, Story/Reel/TikTok, YouTube thumbnail, link preview, X header, profile picture, passport photo, or a custom width and height. The crop box locks to that shape; move it over the part you want, press Crop, and the download is saved at exactly that size.

Can I maintain a specific aspect ratio when cropping?

Yes, you can select from preset aspect ratios (1:1 Square, 16:9 Landscape, 4:5 Portrait, 9:16 Story, etc.) or use free-form cropping for custom dimensions. When an aspect ratio is locked, the crop area will maintain that proportion as you resize.
