Image tool

Crop an image to any aspect ratio

Choose a ratio, drag the image to frame it, and export. Useful when a platform expects a specific shape and your photo is the wrong one.

Common ratios and where they're used

1:1 is the square feed post. 4:5 is the tallest ratio Instagram shows without cropping. 16:9 covers YouTube thumbnails, X posts and most website heroes. 9:16 is the full-screen vertical canvas used by stories, reels and status updates. 2:3 is the recommended Pinterest pin shape.

Crop for the crop

Platforms often crop again in their own previews — a square avatar becomes a circle, a wide cover loses its sides on mobile. Leave a little breathing room around faces and text rather than framing them tight to the edge.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I crop without losing quality?
Cropping removes pixels, it doesn't degrade the ones that remain. Quality loss only shows up if you then enlarge the crop well beyond its native size, or re-encode it as a low-quality JPG.
Can I crop on a phone?
Yes. The canvas supports touch dragging and pinch zoom, and there are numeric position controls if you prefer precise values.
How do I crop to an exact pixel size?
Set the width and height you need, then reposition the image inside that canvas. The output is always exactly the dimensions shown in the export panel.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Every step — decoding, cropping, resizing and encoding — runs in your browser using the Canvas API. The image file never leaves your device, so nothing is stored or transmitted by us.
