Features
Visual Drag-to-Crop
Click and drag directly on your image to define the crop area. Handles on the corners and edges let you resize the selection precisely.
Browser-Based
Cropping uses the Canvas API, which runs entirely in your browser. For this tool, your image contents stay on your device.
Aspect Ratio Presets
Choose Free, Square (1:1), 16:9, 4:3, or 3:2. The crop box constrains to the chosen ratio automatically.
Touch-Friendly
The crop interface works with touch gestures, so it functions on phones and tablets without needing a mouse.
Reset Crop
Reset the crop box back to the full image at any time with one click, and start the selection over.
Instant Download
The cropped image downloads directly to your device with the original filename and a '-cropped' suffix.
How Your Privacy Is Protected
The Image Cropperis built with a privacy-first architecture. Here's how file contents stay on your device — not as a policy, but by how the tool is built.
No file uploads
Your files are processed using browser APIs (Web Workers, Canvas, File API). For this tool, file contents stay on your device.
Local processing only
All computation happens in your browser using your device's CPU. Our servers don't process your file contents.
Works offline
Once the page loads, you can disconnect from the internet and the tool will still work perfectly.
We don't see your files
For this file-processing tool, there's no upload endpoint — files are read and processed entirely by your browser.
Use Cases
Crop Profile Pictures to Square
Many platforms expect a square profile photo. Use the 1:1 preset to crop a headshot or avatar precisely.
Remove Sensitive Information
Crop screenshots to remove browser address bars, usernames, private notifications, or other information you don't want to share.
Prepare Images for Social Posts
Crop a wider photo down to a specific composition before uploading to Instagram, X, or LinkedIn.
Create Thumbnails from Larger Images
Select the most important region of a photo to use as a thumbnail, product card image, or blog post header.
Trim Scanned Documents
Scans often include margins, shadows, or page borders. Crop them out to get a clean image of just the document content.
