Image Cropper

This cropper works from numbers and presets rather than a box you drag over the picture. That makes it quick for batches and repeatable, because every image gets the same treatment.

1. Drop your images onto the upload area, click it to choose files, or paste an image from the clipboard. You can add several at once.
2. Pick a Crop shape: Square 1:1, Portrait 4:5, Portrait 3:4, Story 9:16, Landscape 4:3, Photo 3:2, Widescreen 16:9, Link preview 1.91:1, or Exact pixels (set below).
3. For a ratio crop, choose Keep this part (Centre, Top, Bottom, Left or Right) to say which side of the picture the crop should favour, and raise Zoom in (%) above 100 to cut tighter.
4. For an exact crop, fill in Exact pixels: left edge (px), top edge (px), width and height. A width or height of 0 means "run to the right or bottom edge".
5. Set the Output format (Same as input, JPEG, WebP or PNG) and the Quality slider.
6. Click Crop images, then download each result or use Download all. Files are saved with "-cropped" added to the name.

In ratio mode the tool takes the largest rectangle of your chosen shape that fits inside the image. Zoom then shrinks that rectangle: at 200 percent its sides are halved, and it is positioned by Keep this part. Take a 4000 x 3000 pixel photo as an example.

Notice that Top and Bottom change nothing when the crop already spans the full height, as in the square and 4:5 rows. Left and Right matter for those shapes instead. In exact mode the rectangle starts at your left and top values: left 200, top 100, width 1200 and height 800 gives a 1200 x 800 piece, and left 1000 with width 0 gives a 3000-pixel-wide strip. Values larger than the picture are trimmed to fit, and the zoom and position settings are ignored.

Most platforms publish preferred proportions, but they change them from time to time, so treat the list below as a starting point and check the current guidance before a campaign.

• 1:1 and 4:5: feed posts on Instagram and similar apps. Portrait fills more of a phone screen.
• 9:16: Stories, Reels and short vertical video covers.
• 1.91:1: link previews on Facebook and LinkedIn, matching the 1200 x 630 share image used by Open Graph tags.
• 16:9: YouTube thumbnails, slides and blog headers.
• 3:4: a common proportion for passport-style photos. Countries differ in size, background and head position, so check the issuing authority before relying on it.

The cropper changes the framing but not the pixel count beyond removing the outside area. A 1:1 crop of a 4000 x 3000 photo is still 3000 x 3000, so follow it with the image resizer if the platform expects 1080 x 1080, and the image compressor if the file is heavy.

There is no on-screen frame to drag, so you cannot eyeball a crop around a face in a group photo. When the subject is not in the middle, try the Left, Right, Top or Bottom positions, add some zoom, or open the file in an editor for a one-off artistic crop. Where you already know the coordinates, for example from a design file, the exact pixel mode is faster than any drag handle.

A few technical points: JPEG output is drawn on a white background, PNG and WebP keep transparency, and the browser applies a phone photo rotation tag before cropping, so what you see is what is cut. Very large pictures depend on the memory of your device. If the photo is sideways, fix it first with the rotate and flip tool. To share a cropped photo safely, run it through the EXIF data remover, and to change the file type use the image converter.
