About the Image Cropper
The Image Cropper lets you cut out exactly the part of a picture you need. Drag across the image to draw a selection, move it into place, and download only that area at full original resolution.
Use the aspect ratio presets to crop for specific platforms: 1:1 for profile pictures and Instagram posts, 4:5 for Instagram portrait posts, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails and presentations, 9:16 for Stories, Reels and TikTok, and 3:1 for Twitter/X headers. Cropping is also great for removing distracting backgrounds, focusing on a subject or trimming screenshots before sharing them.
How to use the Image Cropper
- Upload, drop or paste an image.
- Pick Free or a fixed aspect ratio.
- Drag on the image to select the area; drag inside to reposition it.
- Click Crop & download to save the cropped image.
Frequently asked questions
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No. The crop is taken from the original full-resolution image, so the pixels you keep are unchanged.
Which ratio should I use for Instagram?
Use 1:1 for square posts, 4:5 for portrait posts and 9:16 for Stories and Reels.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. You can drag the selection with your finger on touch screens.
