How to use Crop image
- Add your image.
- Drag on the picture to draw the area you want to keep.
- Move the box or pull its handles to adjust it, or type exact numbers for precision.
- Apply the crop and download the result.
Why use this tool
Cropping removes the parts of a picture you do not need, so the subject stands out and the file gets smaller. It is also the standard way to get a picture into a required shape, such as a square for a profile photo or a wide strip for a banner.
Tips for best results
- Leave a little breathing room around faces so the picture does not feel cramped.
- Use exact numbers when a form asks for a specific pixel size.
- Crop first and resize afterwards. You will keep more detail that way.
Frequently asked questions
Does cropping reduce quality?
No. Cropping only cuts away pixels. The part you keep stays exactly as sharp as it was.
Can I undo a crop?
Your original file is never changed. If you are not happy with the result, just start again from the original.
Can I crop to a fixed shape?
Type the exact width and height you need, or use one of our resizers for social media shapes.
