Free crop photo online tool.

Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC photo onto the cropper. A default crop rectangle appears centred. Drag any corner or edge handle to resize, drag the rectangle body to move, or pick an aspect-ratio preset (1:1 square, 4:5 portrait, 16:9 wide, 9:16 story, 4:3, 3:2). Click Download cropped. Everything runs in your browser; the photo never uploads.

Yes. The cropper preview is scaled for the screen, but the actual crop runs on the original full-resolution image. A 24-megapixel photo cropped to 50% gives a 12-megapixel cropped result. For JPEG output, set the quality slider to 95% or higher to ensure the re-encoding step is visually lossless. PNG output is always lossless.

Drop the JPG onto the page. The cropper handles JPG (and JPEG, same format with two extensions) natively. Set output to JPEG and keep the EXIF toggle on if you want to preserve the original date, GPS, and camera tags in the cropped file.

Seven presets cover the common cases: Free (any shape), Square 1:1 (Instagram grid, profile pictures), Portrait 4:5 (Instagram portrait, ID-style photos), Wide 16:9 (video frames, OG images), Story 9:16 (TikTok, Reels, IG Stories), Standard 4:3 (older cameras, monitors), Classic 3:2 (35 mm film, DSLR). Free mode lets you drag any rectangle without ratio lock.

For the Instagram grid, pick the Square 1:1 preset. For an Instagram portrait post, pick 4:5. For Stories and Reels, pick 9:16. Drag the rectangle on the photo to choose what stays in frame. The cropped file downloads at the original resolution, which Instagram will scale on upload (recommended source: 1080 × 1080 for square, 1080 × 1350 for 4:5, 1080 × 1920 for 9:16).

Yes. No accounts, no daily caps, no per-photo size limit, no watermark. The crop happens in your browser using canvas; nothing uploads. We never see your photo.

Yes, when the source is JPEG and the output is JPEG (the 'Keep EXIF' toggle, on by default). Date, GPS, camera, lens, and other tags carry over. PNG and WebP outputs do not carry EXIF because browser encoders do not write it for those formats. For HEIC input, the original HEIC EXIF does not round-trip; you would get a clean JPEG/PNG/WebP without metadata.

Yes. iPhone HEIC files are decoded in the browser automatically before the crop runs. You can output as JPEG, PNG, or WebP. The cropped file downloads back to you without any upload step.

Keep original (PNG stays PNG, JPEG stays JPEG, WebP stays WebP), or convert at crop time to JPEG, PNG, or WebP. JPEG and WebP quality is adjustable from 50% to 100%; PNG is always lossless. Convert to JPEG if you need maximum compatibility, to WebP for smaller files, to PNG for transparency.

Free mode lets you drag any rectangle, useful when you do not have a target platform in mind. Ratio-locked modes constrain the rectangle so it always has the chosen aspect, even when you drag a single edge. Useful when you need to deliver to a platform with strict dimensions (eBay 1600 × 1600, Instagram 1080 × 1080, OG image 1200 × 630).

Crop only. The pixels you keep stay at their original resolution; nothing is rescaled. If you also need to change the final dimensions (e.g. crop to 1080 × 1080 for Instagram), crop to the 1:1 ratio here, then use our image resizer to set the exact pixel dimensions.

Same result, no install, no signup, runs in any browser. We trade Photoshop's pixel-perfect selection tools for instant access and the privacy guarantee that the photo never leaves your device. For quick crop and aspect-ratio work, that's the right trade.
