What this guide covers
Crop an image freely or use 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16, or 4:5. Adjust exact pixel coordinates and export PNG, JPG, or WebP in your browser. Upload an image, drag the crop rectangle or enter X, Y, width, and height, choose a ratio if needed, then select Crop Image and download the result. Yes. Enter an exact crop width and height plus its X and Y position. This selects that many source pixels; it does not upscale the selection.

Image Cropper removes pixels outside the rectangle you choose. Drag the selection, resize its corners, or enter exact X, Y, width, and height values, then export the visible area as PNG, JPG, or WebP.
Use Free for any rectangle, Original to keep the source ratio, or presets such as 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16, and 4:5. The rule-of-thirds grid helps framing. Pixel fields move or size the same selection precisely.
Cropping keeps only the selected source pixels; it does not resize the crop to a different resolution or identify faces automatically. GIF input uses the first frame, output is a static image, and camera or editing metadata is not copied to the exported file.
Before you start
- Keep the original file and work from a copy.
- Decide the required order, layout, and output format before processing.
- Test with a small sample and check the preview before exporting everything.
Recommended workflow
- 1
Upload an image
Choose one JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, or BMP file up to 20 MB.
- 2
Frame the crop
Drag or resize the rectangle, choose an aspect ratio, or enter exact pixel coordinates.
- 3
Crop and download
Choose PNG, JPG, WebP, or the supported source format, review the result, and download it.
- 4
Review the complete output
Open the downloaded result and check order, cropping, readability, orientation, and file size.
Choose the right path

FAQ
How do I crop an image online?
Upload an image, drag the crop rectangle or enter X, Y, width, and height, choose a ratio if needed, then select Crop Image and download the result.
Can I crop to an exact pixel size?
Yes. Enter an exact crop width and height plus its X and Y position. This selects that many source pixels; it does not upscale the selection.
Which aspect ratios are available?
Free, original, 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16, and 4:5 are available. Free mode accepts any rectangular proportion.
Is cropping the same as resizing?
No. Cropping removes pixels outside a selection. Resizing changes the pixel dimensions of the whole image or a crop. Use Image Resizer afterward if you need another resolution.
