Frequently asked questions
Can I crop many images at once?
Yes. One crop rectangle is applied to every image in the batch, as a proportion of each image. If your photos are framed differently, crop them in separate batches.
What aspect ratio should I crop to?
Use 1:1 for profile pictures, 4:5 for Instagram portrait posts, 16:9 for video thumbnails and slides, 9:16 for stories and reels, and 1.91:1 for link previews on social platforms. Choose free crop for anything else.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
The part you keep is not scaled or blurred. JPG and WebP files are saved again after cropping, which can add a small amount of compression loss, so keep the original.
Does cropping make the file smaller?
Usually, yes, since the image has fewer pixels. The saving depends on how much you cut away. Use the compressor if you need it smaller still.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Cropping happens in your browser. Your images never leave your device, and there is no signup or watermark.
About Image Cropper
The cropper cuts away the parts of an image you do not want, either freehand or to a preset ratio. The presets cover the shapes people crop for most often: 1:1 square for profile pictures and feed posts, 4:5 portrait for Instagram, 16:9 widescreen for video thumbnails and slides, 9:16 tall for stories, reels and shorts, and 1.91:1 for link previews. Pick a preset and the crop box locks to that shape, so you can move and resize it without breaking the ratio.

When you add several images, one crop rectangle is applied to all of them. It is stored as a proportion of the image rather than as pixels, so a crop around the middle third of the frame cuts the middle third of each photo, even when the photos have different sizes. This suits batches shot the same way, such as product photos or scans where the subject always sits in the same place. Photos framed differently should be cropped in separate batches.
Cropping discards pixels outside the box, so the cropped image is smaller in dimensions and usually in file size too. It does not scale what is left, which means the part you keep stays as sharp as in the original. Crop before you resize when you need both: it avoids shrinking pixels you are about to throw away. For JPG and WebP files the cropped result is saved again, so keep your originals.
Everything runs in your browser. Images up to 50 megapixels are accepted, several files are processed in parallel and nothing is uploaded. Metadata such as GPS location is not carried into the cropped file, and photo orientation is applied before cropping, so what you see on screen is what you get.
