Image Cropper

Select the exact part of a photo to keep. Start with a centered square, landscape, portrait, or photo-ratio preset, then adjust the rectangle using source pixel coordinates. The preview shades the area that will be removed.

Source images

One image, 20 MB per file, 24 megapixels per image; 60 MB and 48 megapixels per batch. SVG is not accepted. GIF and animated formats export as still images.

Crop rectangle

Coordinates start at the top-left. Output pixels match the selected rectangle; there is no stretching.

Maximum output: 32 megapixels per image, 64 megapixels / 64 MB per batch. Newly encoded downloads may lose metadata and color profiles.

Selected files are processed in your browser. This tool does not upload image bytes or fetch remote image URLs. Clear the tool to release its local image previews.

How to use the Image Cropper

  1. 01

    Choose one raster image. The initial rectangle covers the full image.

  2. 02

    Pick a preset or enter the left position, top position, width, and height in pixels.

  3. 03

    Use the selection overlay to check the area you will keep.

  4. 04

    Crop the image, inspect the export preview, and download PNG, JPEG, or WebP.

Examples

Square avatar

For a 1,200 × 800 photo, the square preset selects an 800 × 800 area starting at X = 200, Y = 0. Move X to reposition the subject.

Remove a screenshot sidebar

For a 1,920 × 1,080 screenshot, set X to 320, Y to 0, width to 1,600, and height to 1,080 to remove the leftmost 320 pixels.

Coordinates refer to the source

X increases toward the right and Y increases downward from the top-left corner. The rectangle must remain fully inside the decoded image. The output dimensions equal the rectangle dimensions; cropping does not resize the retained pixels.

Presets are a starting point

A preset makes the largest centered rectangle at the chosen ratio. Integer pixel rounding can make very small images differ slightly from the nominal ratio. Editing width or height afterward allows a free rectangle rather than locking that ratio.

Reposition without losing detail

Change X and Y to move the selection while keeping its size. If the rectangle crosses an edge, reduce its size or move it back inside. Use the image resizer after cropping when you need a smaller export.

What to know

  • Numeric crop controls; no drag-to-select or perspective correction.
  • No automatic subject detection or background removal.
  • Image editing accepts raster files up to 20 MB and 24 megapixels each, with 60 MB and 48 megapixels total source limits.
  • Canvas output is limited to 16,384 pixels per edge and 32 megapixels per image; browser memory limits can be lower.
  • Newly encoded exports are still images. Metadata and color-profile retention are not guaranteed.

Common questions

Can I drag the crop handles?

This tool uses numeric coordinates and ratio presets instead of draggable handles. The overlay updates as those values change.

Does cropping stretch the image?

No. It copies the selected pixel rectangle at its original dimensions.

Can I crop several images together?

This tool edits one image at a time so that coordinates are meaningful for the selected photo.

Why does my JPEG look different?

Cropping re-encodes the selected pixels. JPEG quality, browser color handling, and the chosen background can affect the result. PNG avoids lossy encoding of the rendered pixels.
