Background
Crop any image with a precise visual editor — no software to install, no account required. Drag handles to resize the crop selection, click inside to reposition, or lock to a preset aspect ratio for pixel-perfect results.
Aspect ratio presets cover the most common use cases: 1:1 for square social posts, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails and widescreen, 4:3 for presentations, 3:2 for classic photography prints, and 9:16 for portrait Stories content. Social media presets go a step further with exact pixel dimensions for Instagram posts and Stories, Facebook cover photos, Twitter/X headers, YouTube channel art, and LinkedIn profile images.
A rule-of-thirds grid overlay helps you compose the shot before cropping — a simple but effective tool for anyone who wants to think about composition rather than just trimming edges. The crop selection supports touch gestures so the tool works on phones and tablets.
Output formats: PNG (lossless), JPG (smaller files), or WebP (best quality-to-size). Quality slider for lossy formats. All processing uses the Canvas API locally — your images never leave your device.
