What is the Image Cropper?
Cutting out a specific area of a photo — removing a distracting background, focusing on a face for a profile picture, or fitting an image to a fixed 1:1 or 16:9 slot — usually means opening a full editor. This tool gives you a draggable, resizable crop box with optional aspect-ratio locking, so you can crop precisely without installing anything.
How to Use This Tool
- Upload your photo.
- Drag the crop box to the area you want, and resize it from any corner.
- Optionally lock to a common ratio (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:4, 9:16), then download.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I crop to a specific aspect ratio?
Yes — choose Free, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:4 or 9:16 and the crop box locks to that ratio while you drag it.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
No extra compression is applied beyond your source image — only the pixels outside the crop box are removed.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Cropping happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API.
